VAT nr - do I need to get German VAT if I have Danish VAT
Hi, I am very new at this. I am in Denmark, and I do have danish VAT number. If I want to do FBA, and use Germany warehouse, try to sell my items in amazon.de, and keep my items at the Germany warehouse, do I must get a German VAT number? Or I can just enter mine danish one in the fields when it will be needed? I can not find that info regarding to keep my items at Germanys warehouse, do I need to get a German VAT nr or no.
If someone could help me with that, would be great. I am stuck with that at the moment.

Hello @Seller_sQur955no9AEN,
Emma here from Amazon, Welcome to the seller forums!
There are several Actions that trigger VAT obligations in the EU. One of them is storing goods in Europe, be it your own storage or the usage of an FBA facility:
"Storing goods includes you, or Amazon on your behalf, storing and moving your inventory between fulfilment centres in different European countries. This means that being enrolled in the FBA programme or Pan-European FBA programme, which allows Amazon to distribute your goods across European marketplaces, falls under “storing goods” and triggers your requirement to be VAT registered in the respective countries of storage."
So, as @Seller_G1PKKllhFr07V already stated, this would mean that using FBA in Germany would trigger the VAT obligations there.
If you are still unsure or have more questions about the tax obligations, I would recommend to check you unique case with your tax advisor.
I hope this helps!
Best Regards,
Emma
