Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between VAT and GST?

VAT (Value Added Tax) and GST (Goods and Services Tax) are both consumption taxes levied on the value added to goods and services. While they serve the same purpose, they differ in terms of their implementation and terminology across different countries.

Do I need to register for VAT/GST when selling goods or services internationally?

It depends on the thresholds and rules set by each country. In some cases, you may need to register for VAT/GST in multiple countries where you have a warehouse in that country or where your sales exceed certain thresholds. It’s essential to seek professional advice or consult the relevant tax authorities for specific requirements.

What are the VAT/GST implications for drop shipping?

Drop shipping may trigger VAT/GST obligations. Sellers should be aware of their VAT/GST responsibilities and may need to register for VAT/GST in multiple jurisdictions.

Can I reclaim VAT/GST paid on expenses incurred in foreign countries?

Yes, in many cases, businesses can reclaim VAT/GST paid on eligible expenses incurred in foreign countries. However, specific rules and procedures for VAT/GST reclaims vary by country and may involve documentation requirements.

What are the penalties for non-compliance with international VAT/GST regulations?

Penalties for non-compliance with international VAT/GST regulations vary by country and can include fines, interest charges, and other administrative sanctions. It’s essential for businesses to understand and comply with the relevant VAT/GST requirements to avoid potential penalties.
