Any British Paysite owners out there?
 

We are going to start taking payment in the UK and I wonder what the tax issues aryone are going to be? Anyone have any ideas?

Get a GOOD accountant, tax is gonna fuck you!

If you email Richard from Richard's realm / adultcontent.co.uk I imagine he can recommend a good tax lawyer / accountant.

Thank you. Not a pleasant thought, paying taxes to another government just to be able to accept funds from UK debit cards. I think I need another option.

u'll have to pay VAT I guess, if you don't customs and excise will be on your case

Dude, don't do it!

Any US biller can take UK debit/credit cards! Most people here have a MC/Visa card, which you can already accept, and MC/Visa both handle currency conversions seamlessly. I just have a link to "international pricing equivalents" on my signup info page... I think UK customers are like a third of our sales now, with prices charged in dollars.

Yup - listen to gothweb.

I do all my online purchase with a visa debit card (or thru paypal which takes the money off the same card).

We were looking at accepting non Visa debit cards; Switch, Delta and Solo through a company in the UK, they require a UK bank account.

avoid at all costs, use a standard us biller

Most UK banks can legally set you up with an Isle of Mann account specifically to avoid Taxman. Last time I looked it required an initial deposit of £750 to open the account (I checked Abbey National and Nationwide)

Thank you. I will explore that option

If there are any answers you can't get from them online contact me and I'll call in the local branches

Thank you please drop me your email address.
