There are several solutions to this situation: First: you may get French VAT registration. France is the only country in the EU that supports deferred VAT – you don’t need to pay at import. And when you buy from an Italian supplier they will invoice you without VAT (reverse charge). Second: You use an EU company (or Branch of a US company registered in the EU). Then Amazon or other marketplaces will not remit VAT. And you will be able to pay VAT for the difference in your VAT return. Third: use other marketplaces. Zalando, Cdiscount, and several other marketplaces don’t remit VAT from non-EU suppliers.

Customer Testimonals
The Magnificent and Accurate Tax Procedures that Lovat can do Globally. I love how it integrates with Stripe, a pretty seamless process to send out transaction information to the Lovat platform. You can set up notifications to get sent an email when the tax deadline is closed, or the threshold is reached.

With LOVAT, all Tax Matters are Solved across the Globe Significantly. We liked that all of our transactions from different regions and sales channels are uploaded to one place and safely stored there. Whenever needed - we can check all the information about those, which helped when we had questions from tax authorities regarding our sales. The feature of auto-submission for Sales Tax is also brilliant and saved much time for us as we sell in various states.
