Learn How VAT Affects Your Online Sales with Colin Matthews and Matthew Harrison - WP eCommerce Show
Episode 45 is the third of four shows in a series on eCommerce and Sales Taxes. In this show, we talk with Colin Matthews, Senior Manager of Solution Consulting and Matthew Harrison, Sales Delivery Consultant, both at Avalara, who is the sponsor for this series. Colin and Matthew are based in the UK and serve Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The topic is VAT—Value Added Tax— and we discuss the implications that will affect you as a store owner if you sell to or from any country that has implemented the VAT. It’s something you will need to know in order to add to your tax compliance if you are selling online.
