Problems We Solve

  • Your Shopify store applies 20% VAT to zero-rated products — HMRC compliance risk.
  • Your store is slow on mobile, hurting google.co.uk rankings and checkout conversion.
  • You sell to EU customers after Brexit without correct duty and VAT configuration.
  • Klarna UK or Clearpay is not set up — you are losing BNPL conversion.
  • Your Shopify theme was built without JSON templates — the merchant team cannot edit it.

Enable Shopify Tax UK. Configure 20% standard rate as default. Apply 0% zero-rate to applicable categories (food, books, children's clothing under VATA 1994). Apply 5% reduced rate to domestic energy. Test each category before launch — incorrect VAT creates HMRC compliance exposure.
UK VAT no longer applies to EU orders since Brexit. EU customers face import duty above €150. Shopify Markets with Duties & Import Taxes handles this automatically. Without it, EU customers see wrong prices and face unexpected customs charges on delivery.
