Documentation requirements for EU trade

When you sell goods to a buyer in another EU country, you should always be able to document that the goods are dispatched or transported to the other EU country. Such documentation is a requirement in order for you to sell the goods without charging Danish VAT.

When the seller delivers the goods, he may issue an invoice inclusive of Danish VAT and later repay the VAT to the buyer once the documentation has been received from the buyer.

In order for you to sell goods and services exclusive of Danish VAT, you have to obtain and verify the VAT number of the buyer in the relevant EU country. Additionally, you have to submit the buyer’s VAT number to us. Remember to keep documentation for having chekced the VAT number.
