Is your company subject to VAT and are you trading goods within the EU? Then be aware that you have to submit Intrastat declarations in the EU Member States you’re shipping goods to or from.

In the beginning of each year, the country-specific thresholds and deadlines for submitting are announced by the statistical authorities of each Member State.

What is Intrastat and when are you obliged to submit Intrastat declarations?

Intrastat is an EU system, used by all Member States, to mutually exchange information about trade of goods within the EU.

When the annual value of the import or export of goods exceeds a certain amount (the threshold), your company is obliged to submit a statistical declaration. You do this at the statistical office of the exporting country and in the importing country. If your business exceeds the threshold in a country, Intrastat returns for this country should be submitted on a monthly basis for the entire year. This means also that if no goods are shipped during a month, still a (nill) return should be submitted. Most countries will inform you when your obligation to submit Intrastat declarations starts based on your VAT returns. But it is also important that you monitor this yourself.
