Prekogranično plaćanje PDV-a

If your business is based in the EU, you have different VAT obligations depending where you buy from or sell to, and if you are trading in goods or services.

For example, if you sell a product to an EU-VAT registered business operating in another EU country, you don't charge VAT on that sale. If the same product is sold to the final consumer within the EU, you may need to charge VAT at the rate applicable in their country.

Selling goods to businesses based in another EU country

If you sell goods to a business and these goods are sent to another EU country, you do not charge VAT if the customer has a valid EU VAT number.

You may still deduct the VAT that you paid on related expenses, such as for goods or services purchased specifically to make those sales.

If your customer doesn't have a valid EU VAT number, you should usually charge VAT on the sale at the rate applicable in your country.
