🌍📦 Ever felt like VAT and the Place of Supply are a puzzle you just can't solve? Let’s unpack this together! We bring another article in cooperation with VGD Slovakia to solve this once and for all.

👉 What's the Deal with Place of Supply in B2B Sales?

In the EU, the "place of supply" for goods is where the transport begins. This decides which state gets to add the VAT. 🚚💨

To dodge VAT at your end, certain conditions must be ticked off:

✔️ You and your buyer must be VAT-registered.
✔️ Your buyer tells you their VAT ID upfront.
✔️ Your goods physically move across borders.
✔️ Documentation like invoices and transport proofs are a must.

Let´s go further and read the article to find out more information. Don´t forget, we also made an article for B2C sales.
