Hello,
I am currently selling bundles in the USA and looking to start selling the same bundles in Canada and the UK.
How should I set this up? I am not a UK resident, so can I use my current account and brand registry to start selling in the UK, or is it better to create a new UK account using a relative’s details?
Also, what about VAT registration and other tax-related matters?
If you log in with your existing account, you will be required to pay 20% VAT on your first revenue. However, there may be a relaxation in VAT if you create an account using UK details.
You can use your USA Amazon account to sell in Canada and the UK. Amazon lets you sell in multiple countries using one account.
Your brand registry can also work in the UK and Canada if it’s already registered globally.
You need to register for VAT if your UK sales are over £85,000 per year or if you store products in a UK warehouse (like FBA).
Even if you don’t sell much, VAT registration is mandatory if you store inventory in the UK.
You’ll need to file VAT reports every three months.
Are you bundling other brands and selling them under your own trademark? I know Amazon has been cracking down on such listings.
Regarding selling in the UK, you will need to be VAT-registered, but you can keep your LLC. If you need an accountant in the UK, Harvinder Singh Dhillon can assist you.
Better to create a resident account for the UK to save from vat initially once your store is established then go for the vat registry .
