Question 1

What is EU VAT?

Accepted Answer

EU VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax applied to goods and services sold within the European Union. Each EU country sets its own VAT rate within EU guidelines. Amazon sellers selling to EU customers must charge the VAT rate of the buyer's country once they exceed the remote selling threshold.

Question 2

What is the EU VAT registration threshold?

Accepted Answer

The EU VAT remote selling threshold is typically EUR 35,000 to EUR 100,000 per country per year, depending on the destination country. Germany has the highest threshold at EUR 100,000. Once exceeded, sellers must register for VAT in that country and charge the local VAT rate.

Question 3

What is IOSS and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) is an EU scheme for imports valued up to EUR 150. It allows sellers to declare and pay VAT via a single monthly IOSS return, rather than registering for VAT in each EU country. A fiscal representative (e.g., AVASK, Taxually) can handle IOSS registrations and filings for around EUR 30-50/month.

Question 4

Do I need VAT registration for Amazon FBA in Europe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you store inventory under Amazon Pan-EU FBA in a country, you must register for VAT in that storage country. For EFN (European Fulfillment Network) where goods are stored in one country, you need VAT registration in the storage country plus monitor remote selling thresholds for cross-border sales.
