How do you handle VAT on sales abroad?

VAT on sales abroad depends on the customer's country and the type of sale: the rules must always be checked with your accountant.

We do not offer tax advice: our job is to make sure the e-commerce site can be configured to apply the rules your advisor indicates, without manual intervention on individual orders. We are in Cantù, in the province of Como, and we configure shops for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.

Rates by country

Magento lets you set VAT differentiated by country and by product category, so the cart applies the rate your advisor indicates.

Business and private customers

Sales to businesses and to consumers can follow different regimes. The shop can distinguish customer groups and handle the data required, for example at registration.

Prices with or without VAT

You can choose how to show prices in the various markets and how to report the tax on invoices, in coordination with the management system.

Services of interest

To ship abroad with an e-commerce site you need couriers suited to the destination countries, clear rates at checkout and information on duties and customs. From Cantù we configure the integrations for companies in Como, Brianza and Milan; customs aspects should be checked with a freight forwarder and an accountant.

To adapt the catalogue to different markets, start from a single product master record and decide which items, descriptions, prices and images to show in each country. For companies in Como, Brianza and Milan, a PIM or the management system helps distribute data in an orderly way.

The choice between a single store or separate stores per country depends on how much the markets differ in language, price lists, VAT, catalogue and organisation. The Cantù team, in the province of Como, helps you assess it: Magento manages several stores from the same installation.

International shipping requires couriers with foreign coverage, rates by zone, VAT by country and customs documents. From Cantù, close to the border with Ticino, we set up the store's zones and rates; tax aspects should be checked with a consultant.

An e-shop generally needs a range of payment methods: cards, PayPal, bank transfer and, for businesses, deferred payments. The right mix depends on who buys and where you sell. We discuss it in our studio in Cantù, near Como, with companies from Brianza and Milan.
