Reply To: Is there a way to differentiate between tax types?

Hi Omar,

Thank you for your answer. I can’t show any official reference, but I’ll explain my situation.

My webshop is based in an EU country. If someone makes a purchase from another EU country, I have to charge the VAT rate of that other country. If the customer is a business customer the VAT rate is of course 0 percent (except in the case of domestic business customers) – this is according to the OSS regulation.

When I order the delivery for the purchased good, I have to pay taxes based on the domestic VAT-rate to the local subsidiary of the international shipping company – this is according to my shipping provider.

So in my webshop at the checkout, I have two different VAT rates: a foreign VAT rate after the product, a domestic VAT rate after the shipping. When the customer enters an EU VAT number, both of those VAT rates are set to zero. But I’ll still have to pay the domestic VAT when I order the delivery. I would like to transfer this cost to the customer, even when he/she adds an EU VAT number.

Thanks again,
Andras
