Read the article →Frequently asked questions
Do you offer EU VAT registration and OSS support?
Yes. We register you for VAT in each country where you need a local number and handle OSS registration and returns for cross-border sales.
How long does VAT registration take?
Usually 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the country and how quickly the signed documents are returned.
When do I need to register for VAT in another country?
Typically when you store goods there, when your EU distance sales pass €10,000 a year and you do not use OSS, or when you import goods into that country.
How is VAT paid?
We tell you the amount and deadline for each return. You pay the tax authority directly.
Can you help with postponed import VAT and HMRC CDS statements?
Yes. We use your monthly postponed VAT statements from the Customs Declaration Service when preparing UK returns.
