VAT Services for Foreign Companies
Foreign companies often become liable for VAT in Germany much earlier than expected — for example when storing goods, selling to German customers, using Amazon FBA, performing installation services or being part of cross-border EU supply chains.
As a German tax advisor specialised in international VAT, I support foreign companies with VAT registration, ongoing VAT compliance and all communication with the German tax authorities.
My approach is digital, efficient and designed for businesses that are not familiar with the German tax system.
I offer a free initial assessment to determine whether your company must register for VAT in Germany.
When Do Foreign Companies Need VAT Registration in Germany?
You may need to register for German VAT if your business:
- stores goods in Germany (e.g., Amazon FBA or third-party warehouses)
- sells goods to German customers
- performs installation or assembly work in Germany
- operates cross-border B2B or B2C supply chains in the EU
- imports goods into Germany
- ships goods from Germany to other EU countries
- operates an online shop delivering to Germany
- provides certain services to German customers (depending on place-of-supply rules)
If any of these apply, VAT registration is often legally required before starting activities.
