What is VAT and what does it mean to me
VAT is an acronym for Value Added Tax, and it stands for a consumption tax that is collected at each step in the production process, which can be up to 25 percent. VAT registration in Europe means obtaining a certificate of vat compliance Europe Union countries or a refund of vat from the EU.
This tax system was implemented by many countries in the EU to help fund their governments and reduce trade barriers among member countries.
Who needs to pay VAT
This tax is assessed on the import of goods into your country, as well as the sale and resale of such products.
For example, if you are an independent freelance designer from France and sell a design to a customer in Germany for $100 (this does not include any additional VAT), this would be recorded at €80 ($101) and the customer would be charged €80 ($101) + 18 percent VAT or $111.20 (€90).
The cost includes an amount for vat in France, but not any other country where you might have sold your design to someone else.
In this case, if you sell designs in both Germany and England, then you will need to charge vat in each country.
