German 22f Certificate for Online Sellers - Required? - Work around?

Hello and welcome, I this video I want to give a quick update on the required VAT certificate for online sellers in Germany. Some platform operators (like Amazon) are demanding a 22f certificate, even if it is not necessary ( see below on when a certificate is actually necessary). I will put my old video with the explanation as to when a certificate is necessary after this video. As the platforms have no way to determine if a seller is required to register for VAT in Germany and the German tax authorities issue no certification that a seller is not required to register, the platforms are often asking the certificate from every seller. A practical solution might be to actually store and sell (maybe a very low) amount of goods, e.g. via Amazon FBA or any other fulfilment operator, in Germany. This would mean that the seller is: • required to register for VAT in Germany and • once registered, can receive a certificate Another work around could be to waive the application of the distance sales threshold for Germany in the EU country where the goods are stored and to apply for a VAT registration in Germany. This would result in all goods sold B2C from this EU state to be subject to German VAT. I hope this helps a bit. For more information please see the following video and our blog.
