How Reverse Charge Works

B2B Cross-Border

Seller in DE sells to buyer in FR. Buyer has valid FR VAT ID. Invoice is zero-rated (0% VAT). Buyer accounts for the VAT.

B2C Cross-Border

Seller in DE sells to consumer in FR. Seller charges French VAT (20%) — or German VAT depending on distance selling thresholds.

Domestic

Both seller and buyer in DE. Standard German VAT (19% or 7%). No reverse charge. Full VAT charged and remitted locally.
