Your business is unique, and that means when you need to register is dependent on your specific circumstances. You can take our EU VAT Quiz to find out if you need to register, but here are the three most common reasons:
If you import goods into the EU with the intention of selling them, you’ll have to register for VAT (you’ll also need an EORI number)
Make VAT even easier by connecting your store to our VAT platform, Tribexa. Our API will automatically send our team your sales data so we can get your returns sorted without your having to do anything. Once we’re done, you can log into Tribexa to view your finished return, and with a single click approve it for submission.
We can get you an EORI number and help you decide which country you should register in. We’ll need some details about your business, so book a call and we’ll get things started.
You don’t need a VAT number to start selling on Amazon. However, you might end up needing one if:
For example, if you sell to customers in the UK or EU, local VAT rules may require you to register. Amazon may also ask for a VAT number to comply with tax laws or allow full access to its services.
The Pan-EU countries are:
The Czech Republic doesn’t have an Amazon storefront but has a fulfilment centre. Since the UK is no longer part of the EU, you will need to either ship inventory to fulfilment centres in the UK or use Remote Fulfilment between the UK and the EU.
We are using the SimplyVAT service for ages. They never let us down. Very reliable and responsible company with great customer managers. Highly recommended.
A very professional firm that has taken the pain away from our monthly EU VAT filings. I can only vouch for their high level of service and quick response time to our various questions. What a difference from our previous provider (VatGlobal). Do not hesitate to use them.
The world of EU VAT registration is fraught with complexity and unseen hurdles. SimplyVAT navigated all of this for us efficiently and effectively, indluding extracting refunds!
Communication was excellent!
I love being creative and sharing my work with the world, but taxes does my head in, and EU VAT even more so! However, with the help from everyone at SimplyVAT - from the initial client call, to signing up, to registering with the EU for VAT - I've had excellent support.
Especially the calls I have had with Tamara and Debbie have been priceless, they walked me through my VAT return step-by-step, using language I could understand (translating TAX-lingo whenever needed).
With their guidance and reassurance I feel confident my business will run smoothly, with all EU VAT requirements met. Can't recommend SimplyVAT enough

Really smooth process from start to finish. I represent a Kiwi company entering the EU market and looked around at options for helping sort VAT. SimplyVAT were excellent right from the start - making what would have been a very complicated process simple and clear. Clear communication and a nice backend portal made the process run smoothly.

Full Review: Amazing experience! This is a game changer for those in the E-commerce space etc. They quickly understand your needs and finds the best approach. Would highly recommend
We have been working with Simply VAT for years now. We always get a great service from them and Vittoria always looks after our account really well.
Our account manager, Vittoria, provides a consistently high level of communication and service, which. She is very quick at replying and is very thorough in her responses as well. Our previous account manager wasn't great and we were considering leaving SimplyVAT, but to her credit, Vittoria came in and restored our faith in the company. Thanks again 🙂
