Threshold
Starting from July 1, 2021, the European Union (EU) introduced a pan-European e-commerce threshold of 10,000 euros for remote sales of goods to consumers in other EU member states and abolished VAT exemption for so-called “low-value” goods, i.e. worth less than 22 euros imported into the EU.
Deductible VAT
Only VAT due on goods or services used for the following activities can be deducted:
- the taxed transactions of the taxable person;
- certain exempt transactions;
- transactions carried out abroad would give rise to VAT deduction domestically;
- cross-border supplies of new means of transport;
- certain exempt financial transactions with customers established outside the EU.
