E-Commerce Cross-border services

Transactions in the E-Commerce division are diverse. The sales tax consequences of these transactions are just as diverse. In assessing the facts of the case, a distinction must first be made as to whether a delivery or other service exists. This alone can cause considerable problems.

If the service provided is characterized, it must be differentiated whether the customer is an entrepreneur and receives the service for his company, or whether he requests the service as a non-entrepreneur. Finally, it must be clarified whether the customer is resident in Germany, in a third country or in another EU country.

All circumstances lead to different results with regard to the VAT treatment.

We advise you on all relevant issues, design your processes with regard to VAT settlement and take care of all administrative requirements. With the help of our international network, we are also in a position, if necessary, to call on a suitable partner abroad, so that you receive comprehensive advice from a single source.
