Direct Sales from Third Country: No VAT Liability for Seller

  • A company provided fulfillment services for clients selling goods online to EU consumers, with products shipped directly from a non-EU country to the end customer.
  • The clients did not use the EU import scheme for distance sales of goods imported from outside the EU.
  • The Tax Council held that under DDU terms, or DAP terms where the customer handles import formalities, the consumer is the importer and must pay import VAT.
  • Therefore, the place of supply was not Denmark for sales to Danish consumers.
  • Result: the clients did not have to charge sales VAT.
