Frequently Asked Questions

How is TikTok Shop different from selling on Instagram or Amazon?
TikTok Shop integrates purchasing directly into video content and live streams — buyers can tap a product link in a video or live stream and complete purchase without leaving TikTok. This social commerce model means discovery happens organically through content. Unlike Amazon's search-driven model, TikTok Shop relies heavily on creator partnerships and viral content for product discovery. Commission rates are currently lower than Amazon for many categories.
Do UK sellers on TikTok Shop need to charge VAT?
Yes, if you are VAT-registered. TikTok Shop facilitates UK VAT collection for UK-to-UK sales — the platform's checkout displays VAT-inclusive prices and remits VAT on behalf of sellers where applicable. Sellers must ensure their VAT settings in the TikTok Shop Seller Centre are correct. Non-VAT-registered sellers below the £90,000 threshold do not charge VAT but must monitor turnover and register once the threshold is crossed.
