The VAT e-commerce package ― general information for sellers
Check what the settlement of transactions according to the VAT e-commerce package rules means for you.
On July 1, 2021, the VAT e-commerce package came into force. It means that for some B2C transactions concluded through the electronic platforms, sellers from outside the European Union now settle based on the new rules.
What it means
- VAT on some B2C transactions is accounted for by trading platforms, such as Allegro ― instead of sellers. It means that we collect VAT from sellers on such transactions.
- If the offer is taxable in Poland, the standard Polish VAT rate (23%) or one of reduced rates (8%, 5%, tax exemption) applies to it ― according to your declaration.
- If the offer is taxable in the Czech Republic, the standard Czach VAT rate (21%) or one of reduced rates (12%, tax exemption) applies to it ― according to your declaration.
- In the case of shipping to other EU countries, a VAT rate relevant for the country of destination applies.
How we collect VAT
All funds paid by the buyer will be transferred to your Allegro Finance wallet. We settle for the VAT e-commerce Package through billing ― we will add a relevant fee in the Settlements with Allegro tab on your account. You will see this settlement in the invoices you receive from us monthly, as well.
How the change affects refunds for buyers
If you issue a refund, either automatically or manually, we will add a correction in the Settlements with Allegro tab as soon as possible.
Always refund the buyer the gross price. We will refund you a collected VAT as a correction in the billing as soon as possible.
Whom this change affects
- Sellers with their business seats outside the European Union who ship their orders from the European Union
This change affects transactions concluded by the sellers with their business seat outside the European Union who do not have a fixed establishment in the European Union within the VAT regulations if the goods are shipped to buyers from the European Union.
Example
We do not account for VAT according to the new rules if:
- your business is based in China or the US
- you dispatch parcels from a warehouse in China or the US to buyers in Poland, and
- the net value of the goods in the parcel does not exceed 150 EUR (without VAT).
If necessary, the buyer will pay the VAT when collecting the parcel.
In the future, we might decide to voluntarily account for VAT from those B2C transactions, as well. If it happens, we will inform you about it in advance.
Even if we decide to voluntarily account for VAT in that case, we will not collect VAT on transactions over 150 EUR net. Instead, this information will be archived only.
The VAT e-commerce package in the settlements with Allegro
You can find your settlements for the VAT e-commerce package in your billing, as VAT e-commerce, and on the invoice we issue for our services.
On the invoice you will find separate items covering settlements for:
- a comprehensive service ― subject to VAT, includes sales commissions, promotion fees, and so on
- fees out of scope of VAT ― includes eCommerce VAT settlements.
You will not see the settlements out of scope of VAT on corrective invoices.
