Since July 01, 2021 the deposit of a valid VAT ID number is required by law.
Vendors who have not entered a valid VAT ID must be excluded from trading at Avocadostore.
A German VAT-ID is required if:
- Your company is located in Germany.
- Your company is not located in Germany, but you are above the EU-wide turnover threshold of 10,000 € per year (including all your sales channels) and you are not registered for the OSS procedure.
A foreign VAT ID is required if:
- Your company is not located in Germany, but you are above the EU-wide delivery threshold of €10,000 annual turnover (including all your sales channels) and are registered for the OSS procedure.
- Your company is not located in Germany, you are below the EU-wide delivery threshold of 10,000 € annual turnover (all your sales channels included) and therefore cannot register for the OSS procedure.
Please check regularly that your company name and address details are up to date and correct on file with us. This information must match the information on file with your local tax office. Avocadostore verifies your VAT ID and the corresponding data using the electronic confirmation procedure at the Federal Central Tax Office (BZSt).
If you are unsure, please contact your local tax office.
If the so-called VAT check indicates that the data is invalid, we will temporarily deactivate your payments. In this case, your products will still be visible and available for purchase on Avocadostore. As a result, you will no longer be paid the proceeds of the sold items. These will remain on your Stripe account until the data is validly stated with us. As soon as this is the case, we will reactivate your payouts.
On the page of the Federal Central Tax Office you can check in advance yourself whether your data matches the data that is available to the BZSt.
