FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about VAT Registration

1. When is VAT registration required abroad?

VAT registration is required when a company sells goods or services in a country where it has no establishment but reaches a certain turnover threshold or uses a local warehouse (e.g. Amazon FBA or other fulfillment solutions). In the EU, registration may also be triggered once the annual B2C distance sales threshold of €10,000 is exceeded.

2. Can I sell in another EU country without registering for VAT?

Yes – but only until your total annual B2C distance sales across the EU exceed €10,000. Once you pass this threshold – and if you are not using the OSS scheme – local VAT registration becomes mandatory.

3. What’s the difference between local VAT registration and the OSS scheme?

Local VAT registration means registering with the tax authorities in each country where sales take place and complying with local VAT rules (e.g. invoicing, filing returns). The OSS (One Stop Shop) scheme allows you to report B2C distance sales to multiple EU countries in a single quarterly return – but only for eligible distance sales, and only within the EU.

4. Does VAT registration abroad mean I have to pay income tax there too?

No. VAT registration only covers indirect taxes (goods and services). Corporate or personal income tax continues to be declared in the country where your business is established.

5. How long does VAT registration take in different countries?

It depends on the country. In some cases, registration takes just a few days; in others, it may take several weeks.

6. What documents are required for VAT registration?

Typically, you’ll need: an extract from your company register, a power of attorney, contracts with clients or suppliers, and proof of taxable activity (e.g. invoices). Specific requirements vary by jurisdiction.

7. Do I have to file VAT returns after registration?

Yes. Once registered, you are required to file VAT returns according to the local rules – monthly, quarterly or annually. For example, in Portugal, companies with an annual turnover below €650,000 file quarterly returns.

8. Is VAT registration free of charge?

The registration process with tax authorities is generally free, but there may be additional costs for representation, sworn translations, or notarized documents. In some countries (e.g. Norway or Switzerland), appointing a local tax representative is mandatory.

9. How can I check if I’m already registered for VAT in a given country?

Once your registration is complete, you’ll receive a VAT number and confirmation. For EU countries, you can verify the number’s validity through the VIES system. For non-EU countries (e.g. Norway, Switzerland), national VAT registers are available.

10. Can I cancel a VAT registration if I stop selling to a specific country?

Yes. If your taxable activity in a given country ends, you can request deregistration. Doing so is advisable to avoid unnecessary reporting obligations or penalties for missing returns.
