If you are an online seller using a MarketPlace or an e-commerce website, you may be concerned by this information about the regulation change in Austria, which now requires an Austria Intracommunity VAT number.
A new law will apply in Austria: platforms such as Amazon are obliged to transmit data such as identity and transaction data to the Austrian tax administration.
In addition, Amazon should also pass on the seller’s Austrian intracommunity VAT number.
Amazon has therefore currently informed its retailers with sales in and to Austria to register their Austrian intracommunity VAT number in the Seller Central Account by the end of the year. If this does not happen, Amazon can temporarily restrict the account.
If you wish to carry out activities through a MarketPlace in Austria, it is mandatory to provide this Austrian intracommunity VAT number. Failing to meet this requirement may lead to a delay in the launch of your activity in Austria.
ASD Group offers a tax representation service and assists you in completing formalities and mandatory procedures.
