VAT & Customs

When exporting to Germany you must comply with strict rules. Our specialists will review your options and help you on your way.

VAT declaration

We understand that this is not always something you want, especially if your company operates cross-border.

Because if you work cross-border, you must also declare intra-community supplies (IC). This concerns products and services supplied to customers who have to file VAT returns in another EU country. In addition, you must state the value of goods that you brought to another EU country on the IC declaration.

The tax advisors know better than anyone else how the German tax system works and are happy to tell you more about it. But not only that, we are also happy to help you with the sales tax return and the IC statement.

And do you need advice on cross-border issues such as sales tax exemptions, reversal of tax liability, serial and triangular transactions, one-stop-shop (OSS) procedures or registration obligations abroad? Then you have also come to the right place.

Customs duty

If you export goods, you must observe customs duties. You must take these rules seriously, otherwise significant sanctions may follow. But with a smart design of preferences or the application of customs exemptions you can also save a lot of tax. Our tax specialists are happy to tell you more about this.

“We notice that Dutch investors are often shocked by the German tax rules. That’s why it’s nice that we can explain everything in Dutch and tell them exactly what they need to pay attention to.”
