Dropshipping FAQ

Which country is best for a dropshipping company?

Popular choices include the US (LLC) for access to Stripe/PayPal and US customers, and the UK (LTD) for low setup costs and fast incorporation. Estonia (OÜ) is excellent for digital nomads wanting to reinvest profits tax-free.

Do I need a registered company to start dropshipping?

While you can start as a sole proprietor, forming an LLC or LTD protects your personal assets from product liability and makes it easier to get approved by major payment gateways and suppliers.

How do I handle sales tax or VAT as a dropshipper?

Tax obligations depend on where your customers are located and your sales volume. In the US, you may need to collect sales tax if you reach economic nexus. In the EU, you must comply with VAT rules (like the OSS scheme) if selling to EU consumers.
