Popular questions
All you need to know about Netherlands VAT Compliance
Do I need to register for VAT in the Netherlands if I use Amazon FBA or store inventory locally?
Yes. If you store goods in a Dutch fulfillment centre (like via Amazon FBA Netherlands), you are required to register for VAT in the Netherlands—even if your company is based in the US.
Is fiscal representation still mandatory for US-based businesses in 2025?
Yes. As a non-EU seller, you must appoint a fiscal representative in the Netherlands to handle your VAT obligations unless you’re only selling via marketplaces that take full VAT responsibility.
How does the new EU customs enforcement impact US sellers shipping to the Netherlands?
Since 2024, all commercial imports require an Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) number or customs declaration. Lack of proper VAT or EORI registration may cause delays or rejections at customs.
Does Amazon collect VAT on my behalf when selling to Dutch consumers?
Only for direct-to-consumer orders under €150 where Amazon is the deemed supplier. If you’re using Amazon FBA, you are still liable for VAT registration, filings, and reporting.
Can I use the One-Stop Shop (OSS) or Import OSS (IOSS) as a US seller?
Yes, but only through an EU intermediary. Non-EU sellers can’t use OSS/IOSS directly. You’ll need to appoint an EU-established intermediary to register on your behalf.
How frequently do I need to file VAT returns in the Netherlands now?
Still typically quarterly, but due to increased scrutiny, some non-EU sellers are being moved to monthly filing to better track cross-border activity.
