With the continuous development of cross-border e-commerce, tax regulations in various countries are becoming more and more compliant, and the problem of VAT payment is hard to avoid for all of you sellers.
Today, Amber would like to clarify, which countries' taxes can be paid by themselves, and which countries' VAT taxes cannot be directly paid by themselves?
1. British VAT
According to the relevant regulations of the UK tax department, the tax payment shall be noted with the UK VAT number. The UK VAT tax can be paid through two main channels:
Channel 1: After the tax declaration is completed, the seller can transfer money through foreign currency banks, such as P card, pingpong, Wanli Hui WF, Lianlian, etc., or any bank that has overseas payment and remittance service.
Channel 2: For sellers who are not particularly familiar with the process, find professional and formal tax agencies to operate on their behalf.
2. German VAT
The German VAT is similar to that in the UK, the payment should pay attention to the remarks of the local tax number and the declaration period information. There are also two channels for tax payment:
Method 1: The tax agent will send the tax return to the seller after the declaration every month, and the seller will pay the tax to the tax bureau.
At present, there are many ways to pay German VAT: foreign currency bank transfer, P card, pingpong, Wanli Hui WF, Lianliankan, etc. The seller can choose the most convenient way to pay.
Way two: For the seller friends who are not particularly familiar with the process, look for professional and formal tax agencies to operate on behalf of them.
3. VAT in France
The IRS requires that taxes be transferred through the SEPA transfer system.
SEPA is an acronym for Single Euro Payment Area. This is an initiative proposed by the European Union in 2014, which aims to allow individuals and companies to make electronic payments in Euros across the European Union under common rules.
The bank accounts of non-EU companies cannot directly pay taxes to the IRS, and for Chinese sellers who do not have local bank accounts in the EU, the transfer cannot be realized. Therefore, the usual practice is that the seller first pays the tax to the local tax agent through foreign currency bank transfer, P card, Wanli WF, pingpong, Lianlian and other channels, and then the tax agent pays the tax to the tax bureau on behalf of the seller.
4. Italian VAT
The VAT tax payment in Italy is similar to that in Britain and Germany.
Method 1: Customers can directly pay to the Central Tax Bureau through foreign currency bank transfer, P card, Wanli Hui WF, pingpong, Lianliankan and other channels; Note the remittance remarks specified by the tax agent.
Way two: to pay for tax generation.
5. VAT in Spain
The Spanish tax Bureau does not have a unified bank tax account, which can be paid through tax agent. The Spanish Tax Bureau only accepts automatic tax payment from Spanish local banks.
At present, through foreign currency bank transfer, P card, Wanli Hui WF, pingpong, Lianlian, etc., can be paid to the bank account designated by the tax agent.
6. Austrian VAT
VAT payment in Austria is similar to that in the UK and Germany, either through the tax agent or by oneself directly.
You can pay by P card, pingpong, Wanli Hui WF, etc. Lianlian Payment does not support the payment of VAT in Austria for now.
7. Polish VAT
VAT taxpayers in Poland have a dedicated independent account. Customers can pay VAT directly to the tax bureau through the exclusive independent account. They can pay by themselves through P card, pingpong, Wanli WF, Lianlian Payment, etc. Of course, it can be paid for by tax generation.
8. Czech VAT

9. Uae VAT
The UAE Tax Authority allocates a separate GIBAN to each TRN in favor of the Federal Tax Authority. European banks, local bank accounts in the Middle East, and Chinese credit cards (Visa and Master) can be used for payment. Currently, there are also third-party payment tools to support UAE tax stably. It is more convenient for customers to pay UAE tax by themselves. The detailed process of tax payment can contact Xiaobian for tutorials.

10. Saudi VAT
Saudi taxes can be paid themselves through third-party payments, or they can be paid from generation to generation.
However, there is a big problem in the tax currency paid by the third-party payment channel in Saudi Arabia -- it is not the local currency of Saudi Arabia, there is exchange difference, the actual payer payment Information tax bureau cannot identify it in the first time, and it will take quite a long time for the tax to reach the VAT account of the seller. It is easy to cause late payment, and the late payment of VAT in Saudi Arabia will result in a high penalty.
