VAT settlements in Europe
for e-commerce

If your company exceeds the legal thresholds for the import or export of goods between countries in the European Union, you are required to submit the necessary information to the Intrastat system.

Intrastat declarations are filed monthly with the relevant statistical office of each country for which export or import thresholds are exceeded.

As part of our Intrastat declaration service, we take care of all the formalities related to the preparation and submission of your declarations in the appropriate country-specific language and according to local administrative procedures.

If you sell to the UK or import goods from the UK, you must register your business with the Economic Operator Registration and Identification System and obtain a so-called EORI number.

It will be required when submitting customs declarations and import and export summary declarations, as part of customs clearance in the UK. It is obtained from the relevant authorities of the HM Revenue & Customs.

Our specialists will take care of all the formalities and administrative procedures related to the preparation and submission of an application for an EORI number in the UK.

If you sell in several countries, you may overlook the moment when you exceed the sales threshold for VAT registration in a given country.

In such a situation there is a risk of violation of tax regulations and prosecution by respective Tax Offices.

If you have mistakenly missed the moment when you were obliged to register for VAT - we will prepare the necessary back reporting for you, including registration documents and all overdue VAT returns in each country where it was required. We will also prepare a covering letter of explanation for the Authority if required.

When selling a variety of goods in many countries, it can be challenging to account for VAT at the correct domestic tax rate for each product.

One of the most common mistakes entrepreneurs make is applying the wrong VAT rate.

However, whatever the mistake, we will prepare and submit for you the appropriate VAT corrections, explanations and covering letters in the relevant language - under local regulations and procedures.

Tax regulations present many challenges for online retailers. Some of these are due to the fact that the regulations have not kept up with modern technological developments and are not adapted to sales on a global market.

When operating in several countries it is also necessary to comply with all local regulations.

Our tax consultants across Europe specialize in helping companies in the e-commerce industry. If you need expert advice - we will gladly help you. We will provide all advice in your language, even if it involves regulations from other countries.

Even if you have been reliably and correctly settling taxes for many years, your company may be selected for a tax audit by the tax authorities in the country where you sell.

For some entrepreneurs, such an audit is a very stressful and tedious process. During the audit, both current and archived tax documentation can be checked. Often additional summary settlements, reports or explanations are also required.

Carrying out your VAT settlements, we can take over from you the management of the entire procedure and prepare any necessary additional documents required by the controlling institution.

When running a business and settling taxes in a given country there may be a situation when the local tax authority will want to contact you - e.g. to provide you with important information, call for corrections or ask for additional explanations.

The letters you receive from the tax authorities are sometimes difficult to understand even if they are in your native language. If the letter comes from another country and is written in a language you don't speak - things get even more complicated.

Our tax experts can take over the handling of your correspondence with the tax authorities in all countries where we have settled your taxes. Thanks to our European tax advisors network your tax issues are resolved locally, based on country-specific regulations and without your involvement. Your account manager will keep you informed about the progress of your case in your native language.
