FAQ
Have questions?
Basics:
What is VAT, and in how many countries has it been introduced?
Value-added-tax(VAT) is a consumption tax levied on the value added on each level of production or distribution of goods and services. Currently, VAT, or as it’s called in different countries, is part of the indirect tax system of more than 170 countries.
How important is VAT for the budgets of countries that have implemented it? What about other types of taxes? How important are they compared to VAT?
It should be underscored at this point that VAT is of essential importance for state coffers. Based on the factually supported analysis of the % of VAT to the total amounts that the country gathers via different types of taxes, in most countries, the VAT as the single tax has reserved a leading spot.
This is why it shouldn’t come as a surprise that many countries from different regions are considering the introduction of VAT into their tax systems.
At the EU country level, is the VAT the only consumption tax type circulating? What about the EU VAT rules? Are they different in each country?
Most probably, the answer you have come across in this regard would be yes. However, in some Member States, there are specific types of indirect tax, e.g., in Croatia, called “consumption tax,” which is levied instead of VAT in the catering business.
The answer to this question depends on a few parameters: at what specific level or sublevel of VAT applicability are we making this comparison? The simple answer would be yes because each Member State has, in many circumstances, the freedom to accommodate EU VAT Directive rules and regulations locally and align them with specific country-based circumstances.
Cross-Border VAT compliance:
What is meant by cross-border E-Commerce?
In the last few years, electronic commerce has emerged as one of the most influential business models on a global scale. The propelling advancement of internet technology paved the way for making online selling and buying more accessible to customers worldwide.
The online sale of goods or services from a legal/natural person established in one country to a customer based in a different country is better known today as cross-border e-commerce.
How is it important for an e-commerce business to be a part of the cross-border e-commerce environment?
It mainly depends on the business perspective. In scenarios where an e-commerce business or digital service provider plans to offer its products or services to customers based in different countries or even regions, the e-commerce business model is a great solution. It can boost revenue and make scaling affordable and fast.

E-Commerce VAT Challenges:
What are the most relevant topics internationally driven e-commerce businesses should confront when considering expanding their reach to foreign markets?
It needs to be underscored that it depends first on the business model that the economic operator employs. However, it should be emphasized that there are some mutually acceptable factors for e-commerce or digital service provider businesses that are planning to expand their reach to other countries. There are different rules and regulations regarding tax registration, reporting, customs duties, logistics, and language differences.
