  Hi I am getting ready to open a store and am based in California. I am doing
this as a side gig but hopefully will turn more then $600. My question is, what
do I need to know about setting this up? From what I have read it looks like
I have to set up a small business and submit profits and loss. Has anyone done
this? I feel like when I look it up online I have to fish though the scams to
find the correct info. I just want to make sure I am not screwed at tax time
if I am able to be successful. Thanks to anyone who helps. I am really excited
about this.

Be sure to track all of your expenses. These will be deducted from your sales
to reduce your tax owed.

Welcome to BrickLink! I don't know what the laws are for California, but
as far as I'm aware, there's no need to incorporate as a business. However,
you will most likely have to declare your business income on your tax return.
There are multiple ways to do that and you may want to speak to an accountant
to figure out what option is best for you. As a small store with only a few hundred
dollars per year in sales, I typically use the standard worksheets provided by
the IRS (Schedules 1 and C).

Hope that helps.

  hallo,
als ik als kleine onderneming met btw vrijstelling (kor)een bricklink store wil
openen
hoe moet ik mij dan registreren?
hoe kan ik zorgen dat er geen btw/vat word berekent is daar een instelling voor?
of moet ik mijn store aanmaken zonder vat enable en dan btw. nr. enz vermelden
in de terms
ik lees ook dat bricklink op de maandelijkse fees btw aanrekend
Hoe dat zit met stores die onder de KOR (kleine ondernemingsregeling) vallen
Zij heffen geen BTW over hun verkopen maar mogen ook geen betaalde BTW aftrekken.

Dit zijn de VAT instellingen die je kunt maken:

Er is veel geschreven op dit forum over KOR en BL, ik weet er te weinig van om
je goed te kunnen helpen.

No.  You don’t collect taxes for a country you’re registered in.  How would you
remitt them?


  Invoice option is not showing BL collecting tax.

At the moment, BL only collects:
— US sales tax for US buyers (obviously),
— import VAT for UK buyers, below £135 only,
— import VAT for EU buyers, below €150 only.

For other countries (or amounts), it’s the responsibility of the buyer (they’ll
pay at reception, generally along with a “broker fee”).

For more info, at least tell us to which country you’re sending to

No, you as the seller do not add any tax to orders. If taxes are required, BrickLink
adds them and then collects them through Onsite payments.

Yes, as a business expense. So it does all come out in the wash.

Good.  And who doesn’t love a bit more paperwork?

Says the guy who never paid BrickLink fees!!!

Which appears VERY suspect to me.

But I'm confident UTLF will find something rotten in your specific case...
