VAT, customs and e-commerce

Compliance with local VAT rules is key for offerings of goods or services through a website or an online marketplace. Failing to comply can be extremely damaging to your business, ranging from fines, civil claims for breach of contract and reputational damage.

EU/GB VAT compliance requirements are not limited to local companies but also apply to foreign companies not established in the EU/GB.
