My guess would be that you only cover VAT within the EU, but of course there are VAT regimes outside of the EU too; so “we also take care of VAT collection for you” does not seem to apply in all cases.
Only if you're selling more than 100k CHF per year.
I see the VAT complications discussed all the time online and figured this would be rather centralized by now
Our connected tax office figured out taxation concerning international transactions. Why and how different taxation rules apply depends on a couple of instruments and setups such as reverse tax charges, MOSS and others.
It basically burns down to fruits:
- charging the buyer with the applicable tax between fruits (company in Germany) and the buyer in country XYZ
- each buyer receiving an invoice (issued by fruits)
- the seller receiving a single credit note for all sales within that month targeting a German company (fruits)
We will have to clarify taxation as I can see from comments in this thread - thanks for your input!
