歐洲VAT

What you need to know to prepare for a VAT transfer agency
If you want to make a VAT transfer in Europe, you need to follow the steps below:
1. Before you start VAT transfer, you need to understand the process of transfer, required information, price, and time frame.
2. When choosing a tax agent, you need to choose one with a good reputation and professional qualifications.
3. Once you have chosen a suitable tax agent (e.g. Green Circle Accounting Firm), please explain your needs. We will provide you with relevant services and guidance to ensure the smooth progress of your VAT transfer.
4. In order to complete the VAT transfer, you will need to provide your tax agent with the necessary documents and information. This may include your company information, legal entity information, VAT certificate, etc. Please ensure that the information you provide is accurate and complete the transfer process.

What information do I need to be a VAT transfer agent in Europe?
英國
提供英國VAT證書，營業執照，法人身份證及gateway ID等 ，轉代理1個工作日我們可以做申報，但英國稅務代理更改地址需要44個工作日。
德國/意大利/波蘭/捷克
提供法人信息、公司基礎信息、VAT資料、之前的稅務申報回執等
Spanish
與其他歐盟國家不同，西班牙VAT註冊和轉代理需要海牙認證（或者進行領事雙認證），作爲合規需要，建議賣家進行海牙認證，以避免無法收到稅局通知，降低了您在海外的稅務風險。
France
因法國爲地方稅制，我司需要先確認客戶VAT相關信息後，資料確認沒問題後再安排轉代理。

轉代理過程中是否會耽誤申報？
You can choose to apply for a transfer of representation after the end of the service cycle with your previous tax agent, or after the completion of the previous cycle of filing, which will generally not delay the filing of your return.

跨境賣家需要做哪些VAT申報？
從合規角度來說，只要有VAT就必須如期申報繳納稅金。而不同的跨境交易類型會有不同的申報方式：
1.VAT申報（B2C申報）
B2C跨境賣家則由平臺代扣代繳VAT。雖然各電商平臺代扣代繳了稅金，但銷售額依舊需要按照當地稅局法規要求進行申報。因此，賣家依然需要對已經申請了VAT稅號的歐盟各國銷售額按申報週期進行申報。
2.B2B申報
歐盟國家之間B2B的銷售申報叫做EC Sales List。按照歐盟的稅法規定，跨國B2B之間的交易是在商家和買家之間都擁有有效的VAT號碼時，所提供的商品和服務，採取反向徵稅制度，不需要繳納增值稅。但是按照稅法要求，必須要做跨國B2B的銷售清單申報。
大多數的歐盟國家是需要向稅局申報B2B的銷售數據。但是有些歐盟國家，還需要申報B2B的採購數據，比如說西班牙、波蘭和匈牙利。
Intrastat申報（特定情況時需要申報）
Intrastat是歐盟（EU）成員國之間貨物貿易（歐盟內部貿易）的數據收集系統。通過Intrastat報表來記錄企業在歐盟內部進行的進口和出品的跨境交易信息。
一旦超過特定的閾值則需開始做Intrastat申報，且這個起徵點在各歐盟成員國各不相同。Intrastat歐盟內部報告基本都是每月一次，申報通常在增值稅申報的同時進行。

如何選擇優質的稅務代理？
There are a lot of tax service providers in the market, and the price of their services varies, even greatly, so how do cross-border sellers choose a tax agent? Many sellers have already been in the pit in this regard.
1. Whether the qualifications are complete
Be sure to choose a qualified service provider. Relatively speaking, the service providers selected for SPN are licensed by Amazon and have certain guarantees in terms of quality, service level, price and compliance.
2.價格
SPN服務商價格要比市面上其他服務商價格要高一些，這很好理解。能夠入選SPN的服務商一定在公司、稅務師、社會責任等各方面承擔更多的風險。
A small tax agency can run away in the event of a collateral tax liability, but a professional service provider cannot. Therefore, it is recommended that Chinese sellers also try to choose qualified service providers, after all, in recent years, European countries have become more and more strict on the tax management of the e-commerce industry.
3. After-sales service guarantee
A quality VAT agent can provide efficient and professional services including quick response, accurate filing, and timely updating of tax information. There are manual services available to answer and resolve tax-related issues in a timely manner to protect your rights and interests.
