Many reasons to take action to collect VAT on values below 22 euro:

• Environment – that ”one package at the time” shipments from non-EU countries have a tremendous impact on the environment. By reducing the number of packages this would have a positive impact. Consequently, the daily packages can bee reduced from approximately +100.000 to 20.000 per day.
• Unfair trading conditions – Retail business have no chance in the competition versus websites such as Wish, Alibaba and others from China due to the cheap transportation costs. Retailers have paid duties & taxes on all imported goods, and since ecommerce websites ships individual goods below the threshold of 22eur the shipments fall under the exemption value of 22eur and can therefore offer much lower pricing. By charging an administration fee as well as import VAT from the first euro cent the trading conditions are now fairer, the user is obliged to pay import VAT and administration fee’s regardless of the purchasing channels(omnichannel)
• Increased tax revenues – Millions of low value packages per day means a lot of tax revenues getting lost. And we can demonstrate that the cost of collection of small VAT values is worth considering.
• Undeclared CE-goods – undeclared CE-goods were flooding into EU and had to be reduced to reasonable volumes.
• The cost for deliver the “China Packages” and other packages reduces as the volumes decline, even if there is a revenue in this, it can be costly to handle in the total chain.
