With the continuous development of cross-border e-commerce, the tax of each country is becoming more and more compliant, and all sellers can't get around the problem of VAT tax payment.
Today, Green Circle is going to give you a run through of which countries' taxes can be paid by yourself and which countries' VAT taxes you cannot pay directly.
1. UK VAT
According to the relevant regulations of the UK tax department, the tax payment needs to be registered with the UK VAT number, and the UK VAT tax can be paid through two main channels:
Channel 1: After the completion of the tax return, sellers can transfer money through foreign currency banks, such as P-card, pingpong, Miles WF, Lian Lian, etc., or any bank that has foreign payment remittance business;
Channel 2: For sellers who are not particularly familiar with the process, look for a professional and regular tax agency to operate on their behalf.
2. German VAT
German VAT, similar to the UK, requires you to pay attention to the local tax code and filing period information, there are also two channels to pay taxes:
Method 1: The tax agent will give the tax return to the seller after filing every month, and the seller will pay the tax to the tax office by himself.
At present, there are many ways to pay German VAT: foreign currency bank transfers, P-card, pingpong, Miles WF, Lian Lian, etc. Sellers can choose their most convenient way to pay;
Mode 2: For sellers who are not particularly familiar with the process, look for a professional and regular tax agency to operate on their behalf.
3. French VAT
The French tax authorities require the tax to be transferred via the SEPA transfer system.
SEPA is the acronym for Single Euro Payment Area. It is an initiative launched by the European Union in 2014 to allow individuals and companies to make electronic payments in euro as a payment currency within the European Union, governed by common rules.
The bank account of a non-EU company cannot pay the tax directly to the French tax office, so for Chinese sellers who do not have a local bank account in the EU, it is not possible to realize the transfer. Therefore, it is common practice for sellers to pay the tax to the local tax agent through foreign currency bank transfer, P-card, Miles WF, pingpong, LianLian, etc., and then the tax agent will pay the tax to the tax office on behalf of the seller.

Mode 2: Payment on behalf of the taxpayer.
