Consignment stock - German distributor

Consignment stock - German distributor

Didn't find your answer?

My employer is looking at the possibility of distributing our product from a 3rd party supplier based in Germany

As i understand it, the simplification rules do not apply in Germany, and I believe we would need to register for German VAT for goods supplied to German customers, however, how does it work for supply to non-EU cusomters? ie the US, as this would take place too

Basically, the stock would be manufactured here, despatched to Germany where a distributor would then supply it to customers in any country, which could include the UK. How does the process work?

German vat registration

With consignment stock in Germany, a German vat registration is definitely required.  All sales within Germany will have German vat applied.  In terms of the non-German sales, are these to consumers or business customers?
