Quick Fixes - EU VAT 2020
With the “Quick Fixes 2020”, an additional importance was given to the customs formalities. Since 1st January 2020, new rules intended to harmonise and simplify VAT rules of certain intra-Community operations have come into force.
Ensuring exemption of VAT on Intracommunity supplies is now subject to three new conditions:
- Obtaining proof of the purchaser’s VAT number, different to the Member State from which the goods will be shipped, before the operation takes place.
- Having previously filed an Intrastat return on dispatch,
- Being in possession of additional evidence that goods have indeed left French territory. In addition to signed and stamped CMR documents, other documents must be kept by the seller to justify VAT exemption.
