What is VAT?

VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax that's applied to goods and services in many countries, particularly in Europe and the UK. When selling on Etsy, VAT may apply to the fees you pay to Etsy, not your product sales.

Key Points About VAT on Etsy:

  • β€’ VAT is only applied to Etsy's fees, not your product prices
  • β€’ Rates vary by country (20% UK, 19% Germany, 21% Belgium, etc.)
  • β€’ Only applicable if you're in a VAT-registered country
  • β€’ Automatically calculated and added to your Etsy bill

Example: If you pay $10 in Etsy fees and you're in the UK (20% VAT), you'll be charged an additional $2 in VAT, making your total fees $12.

Note: VAT on your product sales is handled separately and may be collected by Etsy on behalf of buyers in certain regions. If you're a VAT-registered seller, you may be required to charge VAT on the items that you sell on the Etsy platform. For information on VAT requirements in your location, please consult your local tax authority or a licensed professional.

Shocked by the Fees? You're Not Alone.

Many ecommerce brands are paying 15-25% in total platform fees. By selling directly to independent retailers, you can negotiate terms as low as 5-10% and build lasting relationships.
