Service Details

In VAT registration support, we proceed with the application practice after sorting out which countries require VAT registration by checking the country of sale, inventory holdings, FBA use, sales channels, and commercial distribution. Since each country requires different corporate information, vouchers, mandate relationships, and application forms, early preparation is important. We provide comprehensive support from the decision of whether or not registration is required, preparation of necessary documents, submission of the application, and initial response after registration, based on our practical experience in cross-border EC and overseas sales. We can also proceed with a view to future reporting and operations.
