But the premise of this tax design is that the goods will be transferred to the UK for storage and sale. According to EU tax law, local VAT must be registered at the place where the goods are stored. In other words, if a China company registers a British VAT number, it cannot "legally" use overseas warehouses in other parts of Europe.

2. Of course, it is reported that the EU will be integrated with VAT in 2020, which means that a VAT number will unify the EU just around the corner! Secondly, it is impossible for China enterprises to register VAT in European countries. How to solve this problem? The most common method is remote sales, for example, using overseas warehouses in Britain, but delivering the goods to consumers in other EU countries by express delivery.

Of course, this sales volume is not unlimited, and each country is different according to specific requirements. For example, France's 20 16 is 35K Euro, and Germany's 100K Euro. If it exceeds this, you still have to register the value-added tax locally. Another way is to take root in a country honestly (it is more convenient in Britain), and then use this EU (UK) company to apply for value-added tax in various countries.
