Planning to sell in another EU country? VAT registration might be required – but it doesn’t have to be complicated. With Taxology, you can handle all the formalities without language barriers, errors, or delays.
You run an e-commerce business and your total annual sales to individual customers in the EU exceed €10,000 (net).
You store goods in another EU country (e.g. via Amazon FBA or a local fulfilment centre).
You import goods into an EU country (e.g. from China into a warehouse in Germany).
You sell through online marketplaces (such as Amazon, Kaufland, eBay, or Zalando) and use their foreign warehouses.
You provide B2C services abroad (e.g. construction, installation, or maintenance services).
Please note: Failure to register for VAT in time may lead to fines, suspension of sales, or even your marketplace account being blocked.

The time needed to obtain a foreign VAT number depends on the country where you’re applying. In most cases, it takes a few weeks from the moment the application and complete documentation are submitted—provided the local tax office doesn’t request additional information or clarification (e.g. regarding the purpose of registration or supporting documents).
An exception is Spain, where the process typically takes longer than average and can extend to several months.
Starting to sell on Amazon does not automatically require you to register for VAT in other EU countries.
However, VAT registration abroad becomes necessary if:
The list of required documents depends on the country, but the registration form is always essential. It’s usually in the local language, which can pose difficulties for businesses trying to register on their own. In most cases, you’ll also need to provide company registration extracts (such as from CEIDG or KRS), the company’s articles of association, proof of a foreign bank account, and copies of identification documents. Many of these documents must be translated into the local language or into English—sometimes as certified (sworn) translations rather than standard ones.
Yes. Once you’re registered for VAT abroad, you’re required to submit periodic VAT returns—even if no sales have taken place yet. Taxology can prepare and file these returns on your behalf, reducing stress, minimising the risk of errors, and helping you avoid potential penalties.
