What UK brands should plan for
VAT
The standard UK VAT rate is 20%, and some goods have reduced or zero rates. If you sell into the UK from overseas, consignments of £135 or less generally have VAT charged at the point of sale. Ask your accountant how this applies to you, and how to treat EU sales after Brexit.
Consumer rights
Online shoppers generally have a 14-day cancellation right, subject to exceptions. Returns pages, order emails and product information should reflect the rules that apply to your goods.
Cookies and data protection
UK GDPR and PECR affect analytics, marketing pixels and email sign-ups. Consent should be configured so that non-essential tracking waits for permission, then tested to confirm that it does.
Working across time zones
India is 4.5 to 5.5 hours ahead of the UK, depending on the season, so UK mornings overlap with the Indian working day. This means your team can raise something in the morning and often see progress by the afternoon. We agree communication routines in writing during scoping.
Questions from UK brands
Do you meet clients in person?
We work remotely by video call and a shared project board, scheduled in the UK morning.
Which time zone do you work in?
We work on Indian Standard Time, which is 4 hours 30 minutes ahead of UK winter time and 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of GMT. Our afternoons overlap UK mornings.
Can you set up local payments and taxes?
Yes. We configure Shopify Payments, Shop Pay, PayPal and Klarna, GBP pricing and VAT settings, and test checkout before launch.
How do we get started?
Book a free consultation or request a free store audit. We’ll learn about your store and goals, then send a written scope and quote.
How do you handle UK contracts and payment?
Contract and payment terms are set out in the written proposal before work begins, including the currency and invoicing method.
