Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about international VAT compliance.
What is VAT and who needs to register?
Do foreign companies need a local fiscal representative to operate in another EU country?
How often do I need to submit VAT returns and what deadlines apply?
VAT return frequency depends on the country and the size of the business. Returns are typically submitted monthly, quarterly or annually.
Deadlines are strict, and timely submissions are essential to avoid penalties and compliance issues.
What are the risks of non-compliance with VAT regulations?
Failure to comply with VAT requirements can lead to financial penalties, interest charges, reputational damage and additional administrative burden for your business.
How do I know if my business qualifies for VAT exemptions or reduced rates?
Certain goods and services may qualify for VAT exemptions or reduced rates depending on the country and applicable regulations.
Leyton can review your activities and advise you on eligibility, helping you remain compliant while identifying potential VAT optimisation opportunities.
How does VAT apply to distance sales within the EU?
Distance sales refer to B2C sales of goods to customers in other EU countries where the seller is not established locally.
Once the EU-wide threshold of €10,000 is exceeded, VAT must generally be charged at the rate applicable in the customer’s country.
Leyton can help businesses simplify compliance through the One Stop Shop (OSS) registration, allowing them to declare and pay VAT across the EU through a single return.
