Stay compliant after new EU VOEC legislation by using VAT Services on Amazon

If your business is established outside the EU, following the implementation of new EU VAT on e-Commerce (EU VOEC) legislation in the European Union earlier this month, it is essential to ensure that your business is still compliant with EU tax laws.

What changed?

Effective July 1, 2021, Amazon collects VAT on the sales of goods that are delivered to business-to-consumer (B2C) customers in the EU, ordered through any Amazon store, where:

• Goods are delivered from inventory stored outside the EU in a delivery with an intrinsic value of up to €150 – this is referred to as the Import One Stop Shop;

  or

• Goods of any value are delivered from inventory stored in the EU where you, the seller, are not established in the EU.

It is important to note that the above changes may not alter your VAT registration obligations in the EU. You remain responsible for compliance with your EU VAT registration obligations, including where goods are held in the EU, and for declaring any EU VAT on transactions outside of the EU VAT on e-commerce legislation, including supplies to VAT-registered customers.
