VAT stands for Value-Added Tax. VAT applies to almost all goods and services that are bought and sold in the European Union. It’s placed on each stage of the supply chain. That’s why fulfillment, sales, shipping, and services all have VAT applied to them.
Keep in mind that you might be liable to collect VAT from your customers on all your orders shipped to the European Union. This means that Printful charges you VAT for all orders shipped to the European Union.
Registering as a VAT payer might feel overwhelming, but don’t worry, there are a lot of tools to help you. You can check out services like VATGlobal, FBA heroes, and SimplyVAT for VAT questions and setup help.

A very complex video, thanks, exactly what I was looking for. Only one info missing - how do you cope with products that are fulfilled in China? Ahops like Amazon collect the Vat (for orders below 150eur) and then submit all at once via IOSS. Do you have something like this? Or does a customer from EU who orders POD shoes (order below 150Eur) pay the Vat after arrival of his order?? Yhis is very uncomfortable and stresses me as a customer as well as a seller...

I recently had my first sale from EU and was very surprised that Etsy charged my customer VAT and Printful charged me VAT as well. Pritful told me that they are obligated to charge me VAT even if my customer already paid it! So basically this Value tax was charged twice. The solution is either not to sell in EU at all, or raise prices.

Hey, Anna! If you're selling on Etsy, the marketplace will collect VAT from the end-customer, and we'll collect it from you as a store owner. It's because they're treated as two separate transactions. If you don't want to get charged VAT by us, feel free to submit a valid VAT ID.

A very complex topic, indeed. Since I'm based in the US and make very few sales to customers in the EU (just getting started), it sounds like I should simply not sell to anyone in the EU countries. It's not worth my time to register with all these countries in the off-chance I happen to make a sale to someone in that country.

I agree. This is what I am planning on doing. I might just keep one shirt that is Europe based just to see what happens. It is also a very nice shirt and print company.

I do not pay VAT when I buy from Amazon Germany, Italy, Spain or UK? Or if I do, It's not like an addition at the checkout for the customers. It's a huge negative when we are trying to sell products for a few dollars.

Hi Printful 🙂Thanks for your video! I just want to confirm a few points. I'm based in the UK, about to soft launch and want to be able to sell worldwide. But firstly I need to confirm with you that - I am not obligated to register for any tax be it VAT/GST etc as (Printful themselves) will collect it on my behalf. It is ONLY once I prove my business model, scale and then reach those tax thresholds in those countries that I will then need to register to collect taxes myself. Then, I will need to submit those tax ID on the Printful dashboard to inform Printful they need not now collect taxes for me. Many Thanks ⭐

When I have an order fulfilled for my shop by printful. Do I pay VAT on the order and then have to pay (or account for) VAT again based on retail price when the customer buys the product. In these 2 stages of the order, Do I essentially have to pay VAT twice?

@PrintfulCustomPrinting 2 жыл бұрын

Hey, thanks for your question! You'd have to pay VAT on Printful when it applies, and only if you haven't submitted a valid VAT ID to us. So, it's important to keep this in mind when coming up with your retail prices. Regarding VAT on your storefront - it would be best to consult with a tax specialist to see what would be the best approach here.

@PrintfulCustomPrinting 3 жыл бұрын

We will apply a VAT charge for orders that are fulfilled in any Printful location with a delivery address in the European Union. Evan if your business is registered in Bahamas, you'll have to pay VAT in case it applies.

when a customer in the uk buys a framed print from my (also in the uk) etsy store, does printful charge me for the frame print or for the frame print + vat? do I then add that to the cost of my item? ie if sells for £100, I now sell it for £120?

@PrintfulCustomPrinting Жыл бұрын

Hey! Printful is registered in the UK as a VAT payer, and it affects the way we charge VAT for orders going to the UK, as well as orders fulfilled in the UK. If you don't have a valid UK VAT ID, you'll be charged 20% VAT for orders under 135 GBP. You won't be charged VAT for orders worth over 135 GBP, however, VAT and customs duties are payable and customs declarations need to be made at the border. If you do have a valid UK VAT ID, you'll be charged 20% VAT for all domestic UK orders.

Hey! We don't collect the VAT/sales tax that's charged on your store's platform from your customer, so the tax collecting would depend on the tax settings that are set up on your platform's side. We suggest checking in with a tax specialist for any tax obligations as they are better equipped to give more details. 😉

Hi! being that I've just started : - I am based in EU - I want to sell in EU and outside - I didn't reach treshhold (no sells yet) - No VAT ID yet - Printfull charges VAT to me obviously since I don't have VAT ID - Store is opened via Woocommerce Woocommerce charges a tax to customers in Europe once they checksout on my website , does this mean it is the VAT that you've explained which I need to charge to customers in Europe ? that means I don't have to charge it again manualy or calculate it since it is done by woocommere !
