Reverse Charge Example

Lets look at an example of Reverse Charge to understand it further

The vendor is from France. The buyer is from Germany. Let's assume both are VAT registered.
  1. The french vendor would issue an invoice amount of say, EUR 1000. This is without any VAT amount because Reverse Charge applies here.
  2. As per the invoice, the German buyer will pay EUR 1000 to the french vendor.
  3. Along with that they will calculate and self assess the tax as per Germany, which is 19% on the EUR 1000. So the VAT amount will be EUR 190.
  4. During next VAT return period, the German buyer pays EUR 190 to German authorities
