VAT stands for Value Added Tax. This tax applies to most services that are bought and sold for use or consumption in Europe. VAT is a consumtion tax on: 1) the supply of goods and certain movements of goods, 2) supply of services, 3) the importation of goods into the EU.
VAT is a consumption or ‘indirect’ tax as it’s paid by the final consumer as part of the purchase price. You and/or your online marketplace collect that VAT and will pay it to the respective tax authority.
VAT rates vary between European countries and between certain types of products. Visit the European Commission to see the current VAT rates.
If you sell or store goods, or sell services in any European country, you will most likely be required to register for VAT in at least one EU country and the European Union OSS programme.
If you plan to import or export products to or from any European country, you will need an Economic Operators’ Registration and Identification (EORI) number.
For VAT registration, once you’ve provided all the necessary paperwork and the local tax authority receives that paperwork, it can take 30 to 60 days. In most cases an EORI number can be obtained in one or two weeks.
Yes, you won’t be passed from agent to agent. You will have your own agent who will handle your account set-up, compliance and reporting.
Our annual VAT service is invoiced a year in advance or via a 12-month payment plan, additional per hour project work and audits are invoiced at the time of service. Payments are due upon receipt of our invoice.
In most cases the answer is ‘yes’. We will access your Amazon sellers account and create the necessary reports that will enable us to calculate your VAT and provide the necessary filings for the applicable tax authorities.
Yes, we also provide VAT, GST and tax services outside the EU. These services are available by request, enabling all your tax requirements to be addressed by My VAT Direct.
