Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, countries all around the world change their tax systems, delay payments or returns, and try to ensure a smooth handling during the crisis. It also means that not everywhere it will be possible to keep current processes running like we are used to it. Of course, this will also have an impact on VAT in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we get started, maybe a few words of\nintroduction. We are in an exceptional situation with the COVID-19 pandemic,\nwhich is affecting ALL sectors – no matter if businesses or our daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if we as a remote company are lucky enough to\nbe able to maintain our operations as far as possible, there are many areas\nwhere this is not possible. For example, although tax offices throughout Europe\nare currently trying to provide quick help, the completion of monthly tasks may\nwell be delayed. At present, no penalties are to be expected for this, there is\nsimply no other way and we want to make sure you are aware of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon, for example, has also made some changes,\nand has, for example, controlled deliveries to fulfilment centres, switched off\nAmazon Merch in the US, but at the same time promised immediate help for\ncertain retailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will update this article on a daily basis,\nprovide as much assistance as possible and if you need some further\ninformation, please reach out to us or join our facebook groups to hopefully\nfind the help you are looking for as soon as possible! <\/p>\n\n\n
