    Services for e-commerce

    About our services for e-commerce

    In this day and age, one of the most promising ways of developing business is a foreign market expansion. This can be achieved by expanding a scope of services through cross-border distance selling, currently being one of the most popular ways of selling goods – popular, yet subject to a number of tax regulations. It should not however deter anyone who is willing to take advantage of trading across Europe – ensuring a proper procedural compliance is sufficient to avoid criminal liability for breaching the law.

    VAT OSS

    Sellers who want to take advantage of intra-EU distance selling through e-commerce must be VAT payers. They declare to deliver goods within European Union to private persons or companies not registered for VAT. It’s important to remember that the VAT settlement (in the country of origin or the recipient’s country) and the tax-free allowance are subject to, among others, the distance selling threshold, which was lowered to the range of EUR 10,000 as of July 1st, 2021. It is a limit to the distance selling for all European Union countries altogether.

    Once this limit is reached, a tax-payer who is operating in a distance selling model is obliged to register in the VAT OSS system in the country of origing. By registering in the system and filing quarterly VAT declarations, the tax-payer benefits from a simplified process – the tax due from transactions can now be settled with the home country’s tax office, which then transfers it to the tax authorities in the EU country of an end-consumer.

    When it comes to VAT OSS it is worth to remember that after reaching a distance selling threshold in the EU, a tax-payer is obliged to issue sales documents with local VAT rates of the consumer’s home country. This means that the VAT number of the taxpayer and the VAT rate of another EU country will appear on the final invoice.

    Intrastat thresholds

    Intrastat threshold is another type of a threshold. Intrastat is a statistical system which enables collecting information and establish the status of intra-community transactions. After surpassing the threshold in the recipient country, the seller must register in that country for Intrastat and submit periodical declarations, reporting their sales to a given EU country. Intrastat thresholds are set by a local government.

    Additional information:

    * Tax Office will notify the taxpayers that are subject to the submission of the Intrastat returns (Companies must file this declaration monthly as soon as they have received a letter from the customs authorities).

    ** For companies operating in the agricultural and food industries the thresholds are lower: 200,000 EUR for arrivals, and 400,000 EUR for dispatches.

    *** The Netherlands deleted the Intrastat thresholds in 2023. Instead, similarly to France, they will notify the taxpayers that are subject to the submission of the Intrastat returns.

    Selling on Amazon

    The sales thresholds mentioned above are not the only variable that should be considered. The registration for VAT requirement may also depend on the adopted sales model.

    A seller who is selling goods through Amazon – which proves to be a popular method among companies focused on cross-border selling – can opt for direct selling from a warehouse in Poland or for using FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) service, which enables sending goods to one of Amazon warehouses abroad where they are further dispatched directly to the recipients.

    Each of these operating methods is govern by different regulations regarding VAT settlement. For instance, you can place your inventory in Amazon warehouses in seven different countries across Europe, which then calls for registering for VAT in all of them.
