EU VAT Registration FAQ

Do I need to register for VAT in each EU country separately?+
Not always. The EU One Stop Shop (OSS) lets you register once and report VAT on all B2C cross-border sales. But if you store goods locally (e.g., Amazon FBA) you need separate local registrations.
What is the EU VAT registration threshold?+
For cross-border B2C sales: €10,000/year combined across all EU countries. Below this, charge your own country's VAT. Above it, register for OSS or locally. Non-EU companies have no threshold.
Which EU countries require a fiscal representative for non-EU companies?+
France and Greece mandate a fiscal representative for non-EU companies. Finland and Belgium strongly recommend one. The fiscal rep is jointly liable for your VAT.
Can I use one VAT number for all 27 EU countries?+
No. Each EU country issues its own VAT number. OSS gives you one return but doesn't replace local registrations.
