An online trading company is a trading company that operates primarily through the internet and its e-commerce tools. Like any normal trading company, online trading companies specialize in buying goods from manufacturers and reselling them to consumers or other retailers. However, the online nature of this business makes it different and has specific advantages and limitations. Selling goods online offers tremendous opportunities and benefits, as it allows you to trade on a global scale and save on organizational and administrative costs such as wages, office rent and others.

The main difference is that a 100% online trading company (with no physical stores whatsoever, just headquarters and warehousing facilities) requires a virtual infrastructure, not a physical one. An offline trading company requires offices, shops, storage units and a logistics network connecting suppliers, offices and branches; An online trading company needs offices, storage units, powerful servers and websites, and a flexible logistics system that allows it to serve customers in many locations.

As you can see, online trading companies require less physical infrastructure, but they also have to be much more flexible in serving their customers. While a website is a beneficial addition for a regular trading company, for an online trading company it is an indispensable tool without which the company cannot function - hence the high demands on the performance of the website and the host server.

Functions of an online trading company
The main function of an online trading company is to purchase goods from a manufacturer and sell them on to retailers and consumers. A secondary, but nonetheless essential, task is to deliver the goods to customers, as usually online trading companies lack physical infrastructure, such as shops, outlets and other points of sale.

To buy and sell goods, an online trading company must set up a hub for transferring products from manufacturers to customers. In this case, that hub is a website. Just as a physical shop requires designers and marketing specialists to arrange and present products in the most advantageous way, a digital shop also requires specialists to guide customers through the possible buying options.

As for delivering goods, an online trading company can choose to either establish the delivery network itself, or outsource this task by entering into a contract with a logistics company. The online trading company then hands over its goods to the logistics company, which takes care of delivering the goods using its own network.

Key aspects of trading online
Although the goods or services sold by online trading companies will vary, there are some common elements due to the specific ways in which these companies market and sell their final products. Here are some of the main issues that you will encounter, regardless of what you are selling online.

Distance selling
A special category of online trading business is EU distance selling. E-commerce has made huge gains in Europe, and the online market is growing year-on-year. However, every retailer must understand the implications of e-commerce in the EU in terms of VAT. VAT rules are quite different for online sellers; for example, there are different thresholds for VAT registration (e.g. GBP 70,000 for the UK, EUR 35,000 for Poland or Italy, EUR 100,000 for Germany). There is no minimum threshold for providers of digital, electronic and broadcast services, who must apply VAT at the rate set by the country where the consumer is located.

Online stores and websites
Naturally, a website is an absolute must for any online business. Designed as an online store (describing the range of products available, their prices and features), the website must also include the following important sections:

Delivery and returns policy
Contact page, with a phone number, address, email address and other contact information for consumers to use
Online payment options
Online payment solutions
A way to accept online payments is by far the most important consideration for an online business. Your consumer must have a way to pay for your products and services instantly and securely. There are two basic ways to accept payments on your online store:

By using an online payment system, for example PayPal
By using a merchant account to accept direct credit card payments
A merchant account is a special bank account opened for online business purposes, in order to facilitate secure transactions between merchant and customer. Merchant accounts are set up by agreement between the bank and the merchant and they allow you to accept payments in many ways, usually by credit or debit card. Banks are actually not the only entities that can set up merchant accounts; this can also be done by other financial service companies that process credit card payments.

Business translations

Business translations can be considered a sub-type of legal translations, dealing with contracts, agreements and other legally binding documents between two parties. Business translations are related to both law and economics, because most contracts operate with terms from both of these fields. As corporate documents often include not only initial documents (articles of association, shareholder agreement, etc.), but also documents related to daily business activities, high quality business translations are a must at all times, if you want to avoid unnecessary risks and lawsuits.

Possible translation challenges may include: names of legal forms, arising from the fact that many jurisdictions recognize different legal forms, which may correspond to each other to a greater or lesser extent. A single legal form in one country may be represented by several similar forms in another. When incorporating in a foreign jurisdiction, it is crucial to indicate such differences correctly in company registration documents, as it defines the scope and the nature of corporate structure and activities.

Incorporation documents
No business can legally exist without undergoing a company registration procedure prescribed by laws of residence jurisdiction. It is often required that incorporation documents must be submitted in official language(s), which makes legal translation services a necessity for most of the foreign businessmen. Often relocation to another jurisdiction is unavoidable for tax planning purposes, and, accordingly, this makes business translations an integral part of the activities of any company.

Auxiliary document translations
Besides contract and agreement, auxiliary documents such as patents, bills, invoices, manuals, etc., also often require translation, when expanding your business into other jurisdictions. These are essential for smooth operations, and, as any other paperwork, require cooperation between linguists, lawyers and economists. They are especially important in tax planning procedures, including accounting and report preparation.

Certified translations and apostilles
It is often required by many jurisdictions that the document’s translation should be verified by the translator and his signature authorized by the notary. Sometimes, in specific cases, an international verification form called 'apostille' is required in order for the translation to be valid. We may not only offer you translation of your documents, but also their verification by notary or apostille, meaning your company will always be ready to provide any document in any language!

After the state weathered the tax crisis of the 1980s, it gradually began expanding the corporate tax base. Between 1982 and 1986 there were some restrictions on tax-based funding.

However, partnerships, such as self-employed persons or sole proprietorships, cannot be subject to corporate income tax. This means that profits and profits from trading by companies are considered income subject to income tax.

Statistics

Data collected last year (2016) shows (Publicpolicy.ie) that the tax a person pays on half the average income is the second lowest in the OECD (34 countries in total), which is 1/10th the Danish tax rate, for example .

Corporate taxes
Since the creation of the Irish Free State in 1922, a tax on corporate income levied by the Irish authorities has been authorised.

There are also industry-specific taxes set in the country. This can be a ship tonnage tax or a construction tax, for example.
