How we support Agomoon in managing its tax obligations in Germany
Agomoon, a company specializing in the import of agricultural equipment and machinery, called on our expertise to simplify its VAT management in Germany. Their goal: to master tax obligations without wasting time, while ensuring the compliance of their cross-border operations.
Context and challenges:
Agomoon imports agricultural equipment through the Port of Hamburg, a strategic gateway for their activities in Europe. In addition to their imports, they make intra-community deliveries from Germany to Poland. To be compliant, Agomoon needed a VAT registration in Germany, the filing of German VAT returns as well as the EC Sales List and INTRASTAT in Germany.
VAT registration in Germany:
We first proceeded with Agomoon’s VAT registration, which is essential to enable them to recover VAT on their imports. Thanks to this registration, they now benefit from regular refunds, thus reducing their import costs.
Management of VAT, ESL and Intrastat declarations:
Every month, we take care of all mandatory declarations in Germany. This includes VAT declarations, the EC Sales List for intra-community deliveries, and Intrastat for their trade between Germany and Poland. With us, Agomoon stays up to date and compliant without any additional effort.
Support in invoicing:
To ensure the validity of their invoices, we provided Agomoon with all the mandatory legal notices to be included on their invoices. We also provided them with a standard invoice template to facilitate their management and avoid any errors.
Summary on Notion:
For convenient, real-time tracking, we created a custom page on Notion. This dashboard brings together all tax, reporting, and invoicing obligations based on Agomoon flows. At a glance, they can check their deadlines and ensure compliance with tax rules.
Result: Thanks to this tailor-made support, Agomoon can now focus on its core business with complete peace of mind. The management of their tax obligations in Germany is in good hands, and their compliance is guaranteed.

What are the main tasks of a tax agent in Germany?
A tax agent in Germany is your intermediary with the tax authorities. He takes care of VAT registration, files VAT returns, and ensures the compliance of tax documents (such as the EC Sales List and Intrastat). He answers any questions from the German tax authorities for you and also advises you on specific tax obligations to avoid any risk of penalties.
Which operations involve VAT reporting obligations in Germany?
VAT reporting obligations in Germany concern the import of goods, intra-Community sales from Germany, intra-Community acquisitions, and local sales. If you store products in Germany or use Amazon FBA, you are also subject to these obligations.
When to declare your VAT in Germany?
Depending on your turnover, the VAT declaration can be monthly, quarterly, or annual. The majority of companies declare their VAT every month. It is the administration that gives you the declaration rate and this can change each year depending on your turnover and/or the annual VAT amount that you pay.
Please note: In Germany, in addition to the quarterly or monthly declarations, you also have a mandatory annual declaration.
How long does it take to get a DE VAT number?
VAT registration in Germany usually takes 40 days. We ensure rigorous monitoring of the file so that your VAT number is issued as quickly as possible, without a hitch.

In addition to simplifying the management of your VAT returns, an agent ensures the compliance of your operations with German tax laws, allowing you to optimize VAT refunds and focus on your business.
What are the differences between a tax agent and a tax representative in Germany?
They have the same role and tasks. The tax agent acts on your behalf for the management of VAT in Germany without incurring any liability of his own. A tax representative, on the other hand, is responsible for your tax obligations in the eyes of the German authorities, and his use may be mandatory if your company is not established in an EU country.
