German VAT Return

German VAT ID Number

Online sellers (Business or private persons) storing products in a German warehouse must obtain a German VAT Number from the German Tax Authorities (Finanzamt).

• VAT ID Number (e.g. DE 123456789)

TAXFBA will prepare and submit the declarations on your behalf. After we have received the data (from your sales, shipments, imports, etc.) through one of our software solutions or directly from yourself, our VAT Compliance Team will prepare your VAT return, let you know the exact VAT amount and until when the payment to the German Tax Authority should be done.

Any company registered with the German Tax Authorities as a non-resident VAT trader must report taxable transactions through periodic filings.

Every Ecommerce has to report its intra-Community supplies in a European Community sales list (ZM report). The purpose of the European Sales List is to monitor whether or not the recipient of an intra-Community supply or service has properly reported the VAT in the country of destination.

The Ecommerce also needs to file an Annual Summary VAT Return. This declaration is a summary of the year that you must retain records and documents that are relevant for tax purposes and must submit them to the tax office upon request.

• VAT ID Number (e.g. DE 123456789)
