Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about VAT compliance for watch dealing
What tax regimes are supported?
WatchTraderHub supports five tax regimes: EU Standard VAT, EU Margin Scheme (Differenzbesteuerung), EU Exempt, US Sales Tax, and No Tax. Each regime applies the correct calculations and generates compliant invoice documentation.
What invoicing features are included?
The platform includes professional invoice generation with correct VAT calculations for each tax regime. Standard VAT, margin scheme, and exempt invoices are supported with proper legal text and documentation.
How does the margin scheme support work?
When using the EU Margin Scheme (eu_margin), VAT is calculated only on your profit margin - the difference between purchase and selling price. This is particularly beneficial for pre-owned luxury watches where it can save thousands per transaction.
What VAT types can I assign per item?
Each inventory item can be assigned a VAT type: Standard (full VAT on selling price), Margin (VAT on profit only), or Exempt (no VAT). This is also passed through to Chrono24 XML feeds as the taxation scheme.
What export and reporting features are available?
The system includes basic VAT reporting and export capabilities. Reports can be generated for different periods and exported for accounting purposes.
Is the system suitable for cross-border EU sales?
Yes. The platform supports EU VAT compliance including the margin scheme for cross-border transactions. Proper invoice text and VAT treatment are applied based on your configured tax regime.
