It means that all users selling goods in the UK are legally required to submit the related information on saleyee.com to ensure placing orders normally. In response to this, the SaleYee platform has launched the related function for Non-VAT-registered users to submit the personal ID information, while for VAT-registered users to submit VAT ID numbers and other information as required. In this article, we will introduce the step-by-step guide.
