German VAT Registration
Legal operation in Europe's largest market. We help you obtain tax numbers, register with LUCID, and set up tax returns without fines or account suspensions.
Who needs a German VAT?
German law strictly regulates e-commerce. Having a German VAT number is a mandatory requirement in the following cases:
- ✓ Storing Goods: If you use Amazon FBA warehouses or other fulfillment centers in Germany.
- ✓ Pan-EU Program: A mandatory condition for activating the Pan-European FBA program from Amazon.
- ✓ Importing into the EU: If Germany is the first point of entry for your goods into the European Union (an EORI number is also required).
Important: Amazon blocks accounts of sellers who store goods in Germany without a verified VAT certificate.
