Get started with Zalando's ZEOS fulfillment – without worrying about VAT and financial accounting
From the evaluation of your Zalando sales and the mandatory submission of tax returns in other EU countries to the financial accounting: with Taxdoo, you can master the tax challenges of e-commerce.
Growing internationally with Zalando’s ZEOS program – What’s in store for you?
Thanks to the Zalando E-Commerce Operating System (ZEOS), Zalando takes care of the various fulfillment, shipping and returns services for you and makes it easier for you to store and sell within the EU. Zalando makes internationalization easier, but there are still some tax challenges ahead.
For example, your B2C sales can be reported via the One-Stop-Shop (OSS) – a central online portal of the local tax authority. However, B2B sales or shipments to other European warehouses still require local VAT registration.
In addition, there are the different tax rates and filing deadlines of the EU countries, as well as your numerous transactions that need to be correctly assessed for VAT purposes and transferred to your accounting system. It’s easy to lose track of everything, and you have to invest a lot of time.
With Taxdoo at your side, you no longer have to worry about these challenges!
How we can support you with VAT and accounting:
1
Automated import of all transactions via the Zalando API.
2
Reliable assessment of EU VAT obligations – audit-proof and complete.
3
