Fiscal representation Germany

Bookable separately – or combined with storage and shipping from Germany.
- Fiscal representative under § 22a UStG
- Registration & VAT in Germany
- Import, customs & EU shipping from a single source
Everything around tax
– so you can sell.
Fiscal representation (§ 22a UStG)
For imports into Germany followed by an intra-Community supply, we act as your fiscal representative – you do not need your own German registration.
VAT registration
If you deliver to German end customers, we support your registration with the Konstanz tax office, which is responsible for Swiss companies – including the authorisation to receive mail.
Customs representation & EORI
We represent you before customs, apply for your EORI number if needed and declare your goods for import.
Import VAT
We handle the import VAT and show you how to reclaim it as input tax.
OSS & IOSS
For shipping to other EU countries, we set up the One-Stop Shop scheme with you so you do not have to file returns in every country separately.
Correspondence & deadlines
Letters from the tax office and customs, queries and deadlines run through us – you get a summary, not official correspondence.
Your part takes minutes
– we’ll handle the rest.

Your parcels start in Germany: local shipping rates, no customs fees and nothing to pay at the door.
Dedicated contact
One person who knows your figures and your flow of goods – not a call centre.
As a Swiss shop, do I need fiscal representation in Germany?
That depends on your flow of goods. If you deliver from a German warehouse to German end customers, you need a German VAT registration – the Konstanz tax office is responsible. If you import goods into Germany and deliver them straight on to other EU countries, a fiscal representative under § 22a UStG can replace the registration. We clarify this with you in the initial consultation.
What does the fiscal representative do?
They fulfil your VAT obligations for imports followed by an intra-Community supply: returns, filings and correspondence with the tax office. Freight forwarders and customs agents like fultastic are permitted to take on this role.
What is the difference from a VAT registration?
With your own registration, you account for German VAT yourself – necessary if you deliver to German end customers. Fiscal representation is a simplified procedure that only applies when no VAT is owed in Germany. We support you with the registration and work together with your tax advisor.
What about other EU countries?
For deliveries from Germany to end customers in other EU countries, you use the One-Stop Shop scheme (OSS). It lets you report the VAT for all EU countries through a single office. We set it up with you.
Can I book fiscal representation without fulfilment?
Yes. Fiscal and customs representation can be booked on their own. Storage and shipping from Reichenau/Konstanz are an optional add-on.
What does fiscal representation cost?
A fixed annual fee plus a one-off flat fee for setup. Get in touch – you will receive a quote that matches your volume.
Selling to Germany and the EU – without the tax headache?
Fiscal representation can be booked on its own – you can add fulfilment at any time.
