For "Online Market Places" there's separate registration category where they will handle VAT on behalf of the sellers.
However, they aren't the only thing, and I don't know about you, I do not enjoy teaching taxes to remote supplier, even if they speak perfect english (which is not given, not like I speak perfectly either.)
- londons_explore 6y agoSeems simple enough to simply require either the buyer, or the seller, or the importer, or any stranger to pay the VAT. Simply have some kind of QR code which is issued by the government and stuck onto the package representing the VAT paid. Anyone can log into a government website to pay moneys and get a code. Have an API for companies to self-issue codes too. If anything arrives at the border without the code affixed, someones gotta pay the taxes before the goods are released. It's awfully similar to a system existing in postage for centuries... Stamps!
- p_l 6y agoArguably the present system was easy, and adding optional "VAT stamp" for companies that handled VAT on seller side would have been easy... but it's not how things happen.
