Marketplace compliance for e-commerce businesses
Business is already challenging, expanding your sales to other countries and selling on
marketplaces can add extra complexities to sellers. VAT Digital’s experienced marketplace
team are by your side to ease the pressure of expanding abroad.
We handle VAT in 15+
countries globally allowing you to sell on all marketplaces. Stay compliant for with VAT
Registration, EPR registration and EORI numbers to avoid listing or account suspensions on
popular marketplaces.
Support where you need it most; Amazon, eBay, Cdiscount, Zalando, ManoMano, Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento plus many more all covered by our services.
No EPR number? Amazon can suspend your listings — and charge you extra.
Amazon now requires valid EPR registration numbers before your products can stay live in markets like Germany and France. Miss them and your listings can be deactivated — or you're enrolled in Amazon's "Pay on Behalf" service, where they pay the fees for you and add a surcharge on top. We get you registered fast and keep you compliant, so your listings stay live and the extra charges stay off your account.

As a small business I found navigating how to register for IOSS incredibly daunting and confusing until I found VAT Digital. VAT Digital enabled my understanding, provided excellent advice and the onboarding process was simple. I would highly recommend VAT Digital and their services

I use VAT Digital as our agent for VAT in both Germany and Ireland – including setting us up in Ireland. The service we receive is always first class – including timely reminders to submit data when necessary. Whenever I’ve had queries on the correct treatment of particular items they are always answered promptly and in detail.

Efficient and streamlined service
I’ve been using VAT digital for 3 years now for all my EU VAT filings. I was with a bigger firm before them and I am very satisfied with the switch. They are very helpful, responsive (this was a major requirement for me) and accurate. Their prices are in line with the market or a little lower. Recommended!
Your Questions Answered
Do i need a VAT number to sell on a marketplace?
Most marketplaces will insist you get a VAT number to sell into other countries unless you
fall under an exception and
the marketplace has their own IOSS number. Otherwise an IOSS
number may be required instead
Do i need a representative?
Typically only non-EU companies need to appoint a European Representative for import/export and sometimes VAT registration. A European company can appoint an agent to manage their VAT compliance.
How long does it take to get a VAT number?
Typically in can take up to 12 weeks to receive your VAT number from the tax office but in varies a lot per country and should be shorter or longer depending on how responsive the client and tax office is.
Can i claim back VAT?
Absolutely, our service allows you to claim back any VAT you have incurred including import VAT or off-set it against your sales VAT.
I’m part of Amazon Pan-European FBA, where do i register?
EU laws mean that storing in any EU country requires a VAT registration, by storing in multiple countries you will require multiple VAT registrations to stay compliant.
I’m already VAT registered, can i move to VAT Digital?
Yes, our team will discuss your requirements and make the transition as smooth as possible ensuring no deadlines are missed.
What happens if I don’t have an EPR number?
Marketplaces can deactivate your listings until you provide valid registration numbers. On Amazon you may also be enrolled in their “Pay on Behalf” scheme, where Amazon pays the EPR fees for you and adds a service charge on top — so non-compliance ends up costing more than registering properly in the first place
What’s an Authorised Representative and do I need one?
If your business isn’t established in the EU country you’re selling into, that country legally requires a local Authorised Representative (AR) to handle your EPR obligations on your behalf. We act as your AR where it’s required, so you stay compliant without setting up a local entity.
What is EPR and do I need it to sell on marketplaces?
EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) makes you responsible for the end-of-life cost of the products and packaging you sell — recycling, collection and disposal. If you sell physical goods to consumers in the EU or UK, you almost certainly need it. Marketplaces like Amazon now check for valid EPR registration numbers and will suspend listings without them.
Do I need EPR even if I only sell on Amazon?
Yes — and it applies to all your sales channels, not just Amazon. EPR is a legal obligation tied to placing goods on the market, so it covers your own website, eBay, and every other channel you sell through, not only the marketplace asking for the number.
