Hello everyone, I live in Europe and I own many english sites (mainly targeted for the US). I would like to create an e-commerce to sell goods to my main public, so american people. I think the cheapest and best idea would be to go with DropShipping but I have a few questions : 1. Legal : the american customer pay me let's say $100 for a product. I pay $35 to the manufacturer to dropship it to the guy. On my side, I pay my enterprise taxes here in Europe on the sale I made or I need to pay it also in the US ? 2. Is there any laws I need to know when creating an e-commerce targeted for american people (show legal mentions, taxes included on price) on the site ? (I will own NOTHING in US, just get the money from the customer, pay the dropshipper, pay taxes here). Thanks !
I'd talk to a tax accountant in your local territory. They'll have a good idea and be able to help you properly pay your taxes.
You don't need to pay anything in the US. You will pay only taxes according to your part. So if you sell a product for $100 and you pay $35, you will only pay european taxes over $65. Actually, you can do this all over the world. There are many possibilites. If you are interested in Brazilian market, PM me. That is what I do for a living, help companies reach the Brazilian market. Otherwise, hope it helped.
