International taxation

EU taxation

Selling or buying goods and services with counterparties in other EU countries involves specific VAT rules, Intrastat lists and checks to run before invoicing. We handle our clients' intra-EU transactions, from checking the counterparty to periodic filings.

What's included

  • Review of the correct VAT treatment of intra-EU sales and purchases
  • Verification of foreign VAT numbers through the VIES system
  • Preparation of periodic Intrastat lists
  • Management of intra-EU services and the related invoicing
  • Support with triangular or chain transactions across several EU countries

When it makes sense

  • You sell or buy goods and services from suppliers or customers in other EU countries
  • You're involved in triangular transactions across several European countries
  • You need to file Intrastat lists and want to check they're correct

What we need to start

  • A list of EU counterparties and the countries involved
  • Invoices and contracts relating to the intra-EU transactions
