Running multiple ecommerce channels is great for growthโฆ but it can turn your EU VAT reporting into a double-counting nightmare!
Our team at hellotax breaks down 5 sneaky mistakes that could mess up your VAT filings:
โข Double-counting payouts: Shopify orders and payment reports can reflect the SAME sale!
โข Amazon fulfilling Shopify orders: Using Amazon MCF? Don't count the same order twice!
โข OSS vs. local VAT: Reporting one sale in BOTH returns can create a costly mess!
โข Amazon collecting VAT: In certain transactions, Amazon handles customer VAT, but sellers may still have other reporting obligations!
โข Refund confusion: One refund showing up in three reports doesn't mean three separate adjustments!
And here's another spicy one:
The โฌ10,000 EU VAT threshold isn't per sales channel! Eligible cross-border sales from Amazon AND Shopify count together.
The golden rule? ONE sale. ONE correct VAT treatment. NO double-counting!
