FAQ
Do I need a German VAT number if I sell on Amazon FBA?
Yes. If you store inventory in German warehouses (FBA) or cross the EU distance selling threshold ($10k), you are legally required to have a German VAT ID. Amazon will block your account if you do not upload a valid VAT certificate.
What is an EORI number, and do I need one?
The EORI number is a "Customs ID" required to import goods into the EU. If you are shipping physical products from outside the EU (like China or the US) into Germany, you must have an EORI linked to your VAT number to clear customs.
What is VAT OSS (One-Stop Shop)?
OSS is a simplified system that allows you to report and pay VAT for sales to customers in all EU countries through a single return. It is perfect for Shopify and Amazon sellers who sell across Europe but want to avoid registering in 27 different countries.
How long does German VAT registration take?
Typically, the Finanzamt (German Tax Office) takes between 4 to 8 weeks to issue a VAT number. I will provide you with proof of application immediately so you can show Amazon/marketplaces that your registration is in progress.
Can you help me with the §22f Tax Certificate?
Since July 2021, the physical §22f paper certificate has been replaced by the VAT Identification Number (USt-IdNr). I will ensure your VAT ID is properly activated and verified in the ELSTER system so it passes the Amazon/eBay verification.
How often do I need to file VAT returns in Germany?
New businesses are usually required to file monthly returns for the first two years. Depending on your sales volume, the tax office may later move you to a quarterly or annual filing schedule.
What is "ELSTER," and do I need an account?
ELSTER is the official German tax portal. You do not need to worry about it; I use my professional software to communicate with ELSTER and file your returns directly with the authorities.
Do you handle EPR (LUCID) packaging registration?
Yes! Germany has strict "Green" laws regarding packaging waste. If you sell physical products, I can help you register with LUCID to ensure your products aren't blocked at the border for environmental non-compliance.
