EU Distance Selling Thresholds
What are they and have you crossed one?
What is Distance Selling?
The EU VAT distance selling rules are a set of EU VAT rules that affect anyone selling goods online to private consumers throughout the European Union.
These rules state that you charge local VAT until you exceed set thresholds in other EU countries.
Once a distance selling threshold is exceeded in any one calendar year, you will need a VAT registration in that EU country.
The EU Distance Selling Thresholds will no longer apply from 01 July 2021 due to VAT updates within the EU.
