UK VAT and EU sales
Overseas business VAT rules can differ from those for established UK businesses; do not apply a standard turnover threshold to every case. OSS can simplify certain EU declarations but does not solve every stock, import or sale. Give the adviser the actual destination, inventory and fulfilment facts.
GPSR and product safety
Research safety, traceability and online-information duties for products offered to EU consumers within GPSR scope. An EU responsible economic operator requirement depends on the product and supply arrangement. Company formation is neither product certification nor product-safety approval.
US information returns and local duties
A wholly foreign-owned US disregarded entity with reportable related-party transactions can have Form 5472 and pro forma 1120 duties. IRS instructions describe an initial USD 25,000 penalty for failure to file properly. State reports, registered-agent duties, sales-tax nexus and the owner’s home country require separate review.
Checklist
- Record stock and customer countries
- Confirm a filing calendar with an adviser
