What we handle for you
The filings this sector needs most, on both sides of the Atlantic.
Questions this sector asks first
The general position on each. What applies to you depends on where you live, where the work is done and who pays.
When its sales into a state pass that state's threshold, commonly $100,000 in a year, or when it holds stock there. Storing inventory in a US warehouse or fulfilment centre creates a presence in that state from the first sale. Each state has its own registration, rates and return.
Not automatically. Under the treaty a UK company's profits are taxed in the US only if it has a permanent establishment there, such as an office, a showroom or an agent who habitually concludes contracts. A company relying on the treaty may still need to file a protective return disclosing that position.
Royalties paid by a US licensee to a UK brand are generally exempt from US withholding under the treaty once the payer holds a Form W-8BEN-E. Without it, 30% is withheld. The royalty income is then reported in the UK company's tax return.
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and what it can realistically be sold for, which matters in fashion because past-season stock loses value quickly. Write-downs reduce taxable profit when they are properly evidenced. US and UK rules differ on method, so a group reporting in both countries reconciles the two.
