fonthaunt Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 All that the help articles say is the “VAT field is for European users only. For residents in Israel, a VAT ID is mandatory.” When you are on Fiverr, you are technically a business, but tax laws are different for each region. You could ask Customer Support but they probably don’t know the details for non-Israeli users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaki Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Google revealed this: http://euvataction.org/key-facts/bI’d go for the wine option if I actually had to worry about this. Whoever came up with the regs was clearly drunk anyway… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmijim Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Ok i read on Goverment website the new law effects automated digital content, apparently does not effect sales if theres interaction between client and seller, the seller sends file physically by email themself without using automated emails.https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-supplying-digital-services-to-private-consumers/vat-businesses-supplying-digital-services-to-private-consumers#sales-not-affected-by-the-change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinmadrid Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I was wondering myself but it looks like Fiverr found a work around as the goods are not auto delivered. Seems like a strange oversight. As a seller of electronic goods I’d be happy to email my PDF to buyers rather than an automatic download if it means they’ll save the 19% German VAT!
