I’m currently selling on Shopify and based in the UK, and VAT rules are getting a bit confusing—especially with digital services, EU customers, and setting up tax correctly on the backend of Shopify. I’m trying to stay compliant but don’t want to overpay or make mistakes either.

A few questions I’m hoping someone can help with:

• At what point do I have to register for VAT as a UK Shopify seller?

• Do I need to charge VAT on international sales (especially to the EU)?

• How do you set up VAT rates correctly in Shopify without messing up checkout or pricing?

I found this article that talks about TikTok Shop but also touches on staying competitive while managing tax across multiple platforms: 👉 https://www.socialcommerceaccountants.com/post/how-to-sell-on-tiktok-shop-still-win-on-amazon-shopify.  Would really appreciate any insights from other UK sellers—what’s working for you and what should I watch out for?
