Shopify VAT FAQs
Common questions answered
Do I need a VAT number for Shopify?
Not to open a store — but you may need to register based on where customers are, where goods are stored, and local thresholds. Sellers shipping from or into the EU (including many mainland China merchants using EU fulfilment) often trigger registration earlier than they expect.
How do I charge VAT on Shopify?
In Settings → Taxes, add your VAT numbers and let Shopify apply location-based rates at checkout. You still need correct registrations and filings in each country where you are obligated — we help with that part.
Is there VAT on Shopify fees?
Shopify may charge VAT on fees in some countries (e.g. Ireland, Switzerland). In the UK/EU, fees are often handled via reverse charge on your VAT return where applicable.
Does this work for sellers in mainland China?
Yes. Many cross-border sellers use Shopify while fulfilling in the EU or selling to EU consumers. We align registrations and filings with your actual supply chain — including IOSS/OSS when suitable.
How is this different from Amazon FBA VAT?
Same EU rules — different data source. For Shopify we focus on your store and checkout data via integration; for Amazon FBA, inventory placement drives registrations. See our Amazon FBA VAT page if you also sell on Amazon.
