INTRASTAT REPORTS MADE EASY

Unlike VAT returns, Intrastat declarations are transactional. They’re reported by SKU and require a lot of extra data – weight, commodity codes, net sales vale, how the goods were shipped.
They’re one of those things that only get easier to do with practice. Fortunately, we’ve had lots of practice.

WHAT IS AN INTRASTAT REPORT?

An Intrastat report is statistical data, showing the amount of goods a business has moved between EU countries.
It Includes:
  • Stock moved between warehouses in different countries
  • Sales shipped from one EU country to another
  • Purchases made in one EU country and delivered to a warehouse in another.
When the EU became a single market, import documents and border formalities between member states were removed. Intrastat returns replace those things, so tax authorities and statistics departments across the EU can still get a sense of what’s moving across borders.

DON’T DO ANY MORE PAPERWORK THAN YOU HAVE TO

The thing with Intrastat reports is that once you have start filing them, you have to do it for a long time. You’ll have to do these reports every month from when you cross the threshold until the end of that year then one whole calendar year until you fall under the threshold!
It’s not all bad news! If you’re filing Intrastat returns it tends to mean you’re making a lot of money. The flipside is that you might never stop filing these reports. It doesn’t have to be a burden though - we’re here to help.

Intrastat Reporting Thresholds

Each country in the European Union sets thresholds for when businesses need to file Intrastat reports. There are two thresholds, one for Arrivals and one for Dispatches. Arrivals is a record of the amount arriving into an EU state, and Dispatches shows the amount leaving.

Yes, if you’ve passed the threshold for filing Intrastat reports in an EU country. Like VAT Returns, they’re a legal requirement and the penalties for not doing them are pretty steep.
Intrastat codes are also known as Commodity Codes. They’re the Combined Nomenclature 8-digit code (CN8) used to classify goods in the EU.
Intrastat is a combination of the words “Intracommunity” and “Statisitc”. Intracommunity is the word used to describe things that happen between EU States. Intrastat reports cover the movement of goods between EU Member States.
Intrastat declarations, returns and reports are just different names for the same thing. When you file an Intrastat report you’re making an official declaration about the goods you’ve moved between EU countries.
Intrastat reporting is the process of putting together and filing an Intrastat report. There’s no unified process or deadline for filing the reports, so it varies between countries.
Not quite – the codes used in Intrastat reports are the CN8 Commodity codes used in the EU. CN8 codes are based on HS Codes (the first 6 digits are from the HS code) but have EU-specific subdivisions.
Since the UK has left the EU, the UK’s Intrastat threshold only applies to goods moving between Northern Ireland and the EU. If you pass the threshold, you’ll have to submit Intrastat reports.

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
