Lazada: Change to T&C

[bluesofa]

I've just received an email from Lazada:

 

"From 20th January, 2020 onwards. Shipping fee receipt will be issued by Lazada Express Limited (LEL), instead of Lazada Thailand.

This will not affect your shopping experience."

There's a link to click to see the 'terms of use'. It goes into pages.

 

Does anyone know if it affects anything in reality?

'Shipping fee receipt'  - I assume this doesn't change the use of Kerry to deliver their goods?

Judging by similar things happening, this is a Tax thing they need to do for "proof of purchase / value" re change of company etc.

It doesnt actually effect anything your end its an accountancy thing is my opinion, as the delivery aspect is a separate purchase provided by Lazada, not the seller of the item.

Exactly as @CharlieH said. One business for online selling, and a separate business for shipping.

 

This means the shipping aspect can be handled as a Thai business, subject to Thai taxation, but the selling part of the business can be registered in a more tax efficient country, as all the selling business provides is a digital service.

 

Very similar to how Amazon operates.
