Additional Information

According to legislation, EU companies must observe the following when performing services in another EU country:

  • Not charge commercial customers VAT.

  • Charge private customers the VAT for the EU country in which they receive the service (country supplied).

Example Example

You are supplying a commercial customer in France.

The following transaction-relevant data has been recorded in the posting area S001:

  • Posting area (DE): 0001

  • Main and subtransaction: xxxx xxxx

  • Tax determination code: A1 (19% VAT in Germany)

You maintain posting area 2014 as follows for services performed in France:

  • Tax determination code: A1

  • Country supplied: FR

  • Alternative B2C tax determination code: F1 (20% VAT in France)

  • Alternative B2B tax determination code: AX (0% VAT with EU code 4)

The system determines the alternative tax determination codes. This results in commercial customers not being charged VAT and private customers being charged 20% VAT.

End of the example.
