In some member states of the EU, appointing a tax representative is a legal obligation for all companies established outside of the EU that perform taxable operations within the European territory:
Failing to appoint a tax representative is heavily punished by the European tax administrations and makes companies ineligible for VAT refund.
Moreover, please do note that European partners (furnishers, suppliers, clients, marketplaces…) systematically refuse to deal with non-European companies that failed to appoint a tax representative, as it would be too risky for them.
Beyond the legal obligation, tax representation is a simple and economical alternative to physical implantation by creating a branch or a subsidiary.
In fact, tax representation allows foreign companies to enter the European market while avoiding the costs and constraints of physical implantation that involves the creation of a structure and the management of a separate accounting.
In particular, a foreign company that has appointed a tax representative in an EU member state will not be subjected to the corporate tax in this member state.
The activity is completely remote-controlled from abroad through the tax representative who will handle all the VAT-related obligations required by the local tax administration: obtention of a VAT number, submission of periodic declarations and VAT payment, submission of requests for VAT refund, etc…
