Hi All,
I'm looking into doing online retailing. I already have five bricks and mortar stores but see some new opportunities online. There are a few issues that I'd like to ask the community here about.
1. I'd like to avoid having to charge Irish VAT rates (21% in my sector), price probably being the biggest competitive factor online. I believe that the location(country) of the server on which the site is hosted has some bearing on the taxes applied. Any ideas of about this and the pros and cons involved?
2. Anyone have any info regarding registering a company offshore, retrieving profits etc?
3. Alternatively, what are the implications for an Irish company trading outside of the state?
Many thanks.
