Full-Service German VAT Compliance for Amazon & E-Commerce Sellers
Navigating EU VAT compliance requires more than just automated data exports; it requires strategic oversight to ensure you aren't overpaying. While standard automated services often overlook deductible expenses and Import VAT refunds, our premium compliance model provides manual reconciliation to recover your hidden costs.
From managing Inter-EU VAT-free sales (ZM) to acting as your Fiscal Representative for OSS and IOSS, we bridge the gap between simple filing and professional tax optimization, ensuring your international business remains both compliant and profitable in the German and European markets.

Integrated Compliance & Recovery
See how our premium model compares to standard "Amazon-style" automated services.
| Service Category | Automated Services (Amazon/External) | e-VATAX Premium Model (Manual & Expert) |
|---|---|---|
Import VAT & Expenses | Typically not included — VAT on imports or local business costs is often not reclaimed. | Reclaimed. Manual reconciliation of customs docs and expense invoices to refund your cash. |
Inter-EU Sales (ZM) | Often a paid extra or requires manual data entry by the seller. | Fully Managed. We handle the Zusammenfassende Meldung to verify VAT-free B2B trade. |
OSS / IOSS Filing | Usually automated data sync only, without individual review of thresholds and rates. | Verified Filing. Manual check of thresholds and country-specific rates + Fiscal Representation. |
EU-Wide VAT Refunds | Often not part of the standard scope — refunds for previous quarters may be missed. | Full Recovery. OSS/IOSS EU-wide VAT refunds for previous quarters with proper manual handling. |
Support Level | Typically ticket-based or automated support. | Direct Access. Personal counsel from your dedicated Hannover-based tax consultant. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a German VAT number if I use Amazon FBA?
Yes. As soon as your goods are stored in a German Amazon warehouse, you have a taxable presence in Germany and must register for German VAT — regardless of where your company is based.
How long does German VAT registration take?
Typically 4–6 weeks from the moment we submit your complete application to the responsible tax office. We prepare all forms and handle the full communication for you.
What is the difference between OSS and regular VAT filing?
Regular German VAT filings cover your sales from German warehouses. The One-Stop-Shop (OSS) covers cross-border B2C sales to other EU countries in a single quarterly return, so you avoid registering in every EU country separately.
Can you recover Import VAT I already paid?
Yes. We manually reconcile your customs documents and expense invoices to reclaim Import VAT and VAT on local business costs — including refunds for previous quarters where legally possible.
What does your service cost?
Registration packages start at €420 one-time, monthly VAT filing at €120, and OSS filing at €250 per quarter. See our pricing page for the full fee schedule.
