As of the 1st of July 2021 VAT on intra-community sales is to be imposed where the sale took place. It is case dependent however as it only applies to sellers based in a single EU country, subject to an annual fixed limit of 10 000 euros. If the sales fall below the 10 000 euro limit, the VAT is imposed in the EU country in which the sale was made which must also be the country in which the seller is based. If the sales fall above the 10 000 euro limit, the VAT is imposed in the recipient EU country. – Liable person not subject to the limit because not based in the EU or based in several EU countries – Liable person not subject to the limit because not based in the EU or based in several EU countries If you or your company require any of our services or if you wish to find out more about what Maupard provides, please get in touch with our team at [email protected] or on +33 (0)1 53 93 94 20 [email protected]
