Intra-EU reverse charge
Do not charge VAT. The buyer accounts for it.
B2B services between different EU countries are generally taxed where the customer is established. You invoice at 0% and write that the reverse charge applies. The customer declares both output and input VAT in their own return. Digital services follow the same B2B rule.
- Collect the customer’s EU VAT number and check the format before you send the invoice.
- Add: “Reverse charge. VAT to be accounted for by the recipient (Article 196, Directive 2006/112/EC).”
- Report the sale in your EC Sales List where your member state requires it.
A place-of-supply sketch for planning. It is not a ruling and it skips sector-specific domestic reverse charges.
