To substantiate the correct use of the zero VAT rate for intra-Community supply of goods (EC Sales) and Export of goods, enterprises need to be able to proof that the goods are transported cross-border and that the goods have actually left the country of supply. This can be done by means of various documents, referred to as Proof of Delivery information. Remarkably, the process to ensure that Proof of Delivery (POD) information is available, does often not exist within these enterprises.

You should either collect the POD information from your Logistics Service Provider (LSP) or your customer. This depends on the way the transport is organized. To be compliant, it is of importance to collect, save and store this information in case of a VAT audit. This is often a fragile manual process which can be very consuming, which by nature is error-prone.

To support you with the POD collection process, Pincvision developed the “Proof of Delivery (POD) service”
