Hi,
My name is Soni. I've got a small Amazon business supplying Amazon France and Germany with CD's. I've just found out I need to be VAT registered for France and Germany.
I wonder if anyone knows someone who can set me up cheaply for VAT in France and Germany (can be 2 separate local ones, no problem)
It's a very small business, only talking about £4-5000 pounds worth of sales. All by mail order from the UK.
I've been quoted a ridiculously high price by a British firm - £1,000 per country! Grrrrrrr
I'm able to do returns myself, its just the initial registration I'm finding hard.
Any help will be great fully received and will give a rave review in this forum for anyone who can help me!

Hi Soni,
my husband ran into the same problem as you did regarding the registration of a german vat number. Amazon and ebay somehow started requiring it for everyone who wants to sell in germany. He got help by this companyfor a reasonable price.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.
You're responding to a post that nobody has been back to for many years; I suspect that nobody will respond to you, so on behalf of the Team here, thank you for taking the time to respond.

So, I did this. And it took around 2 months. You have to register your business (gewerbe or freiberuflich), get your business Steur #, then apply for the VAT number. The whole process took me around 6 months (because of covid..). normally it's supposed to be quicker
