How does VAT work?
Your customer pays your roastery through your store.
You therefore treat the B2C sale for VAT purposes like your other ecommerce transactions.
smoasters separately invoices your roastery on a B2B basis for products and services.
For cross-border sales relevant rules may include:
- OSS
- local VAT requirements
- import VAT
- customs
The exact tax treatment depends on your company location and destination markets.
