A fulfilment house is shipping orders from the UK. These orders are being collected from various websites, each based in different countries, for a company based in France but VAT registered in various countries.
This leads to a possible scenario of:
Order taken on Danish website
Shipped from UK
Delivered to German customer
Company is VAT registered in all 3 countries
Assuming customer is not VAT registered, the VAT registration number of which country does the invoice show and the VAT rate of which country applies?
