VAT registration and accounting within the EU

Companies today use the EU as their home market. This means that companies are increasingly doing business that are liable to taxa in another EU country and VAT registration becomes necessary.

VAT Adviser helps a large number of companies with VAT registration in other countries and submiting VAT returns. VAT Adviser handles most of VAT registration ourselves. In some cases, a representative is required in the country where the company has made its VAT registration, but the communication is in any case via VAT Adviser. You need to communicate with just one partner.

Examples of business transactions that can lead to a VAT registration

Inventory

When a warehouse is set up in another country, you should check whether a VAT registration is necessary.

Local sales

A company that buys and sells a product in one and the same country may need to make a local VAT registration in the country in question.

Projects in other countries

Long-term projects in other countries where the foreign company is the one running the project: If a foreign company runs a project for a long time (over 9 months) in another EU country, the foreign company can be considered to have an establishment and therefore need to be registered for VAT in the country. It can e.g. become relevant for installation projects with "turn-key conditions" and subsequent service commitment in the purchase contract.

Transfer of goods

Transfer of goods in connection with the provision of real estate services. If you deliver such a large machine or plant, including installation, that the customer's property in the other country needs to be rebuilt or expanded to take the delivered machine or plant into use, the delivery can be considered real estate service. The invoice to the foreign end customer generally does not need to include VAT and the buyer acquires acquisition tax and reports VAT in his country, but the seller of such a facility may still need to register VAT because the transfer of the facility must be reported as an import in the buyer's country.
