VAT management in International Trade

VAT management in international trade

ALS Swiss has a team specialising in the management of VAT triangulation, both within and outside the EU, able to provide support and detailed advice for complex operations.

Triangulations are chain transfers involving three parties in different countries, which are very common in international transport. The ALS Swiss team provides support for:

  • VAT-exempt commercial triangulations in Europe
  • Non-EU VAT-exempt commercial triangulations

These practices, also known as dropshipping, involve the intervention of a third party to ensure the successful outcome of the transaction between the first transferor and the end customer. The main figures are:

  • First transferor: supplier who transfers the product to the promoter of the triangulation, delivering it to the end customer.
  • Triangulation promoter/intermediate transferor: manages the purchase from the supplier and the sale to the customer.
  • End recipient: receives the goods purchased from the promoter, produced and shipped by the transferor.
