Cross-Border EU Service Invoicing Complete Guide
Invoicing clients in other EU member states involves VAT rules, reverse-charge mechanisms, and invoice requirements that differ from domestic billing. Here's what you need to know.
For B2B services across EU borders, VAT is due in the client's country and the reverse-charge mechanism applies: you don't charge VAT on the invoice; the client self-accounts. Required invoice content: your VAT number, the client's VAT number, and the statement "Reverse charge — VAT to be accounted for by the recipient." Submit EC Sales List (VIES) reporting periodically. B2C digital services to EU consumers require OSS registration once cross-border B2C sales exceed €10,000. Use the ECB reference rate for currency conversion on cross-border invoices. Get country-specific tax advice for significant cross-border engagements. Track all cross-border revenue separately in your financial dashboard.
