What is VATCompass?

EU compliance screening that tells you exactly where you stand, before a tax authority does.

Most cross-border sellers discover their EU VAT and EPR exposure after it becomes expensive. Penalties. Back-taxes. Amazon listing suspensions. VATCompass closes that gap: fast, affordable, expert-led screening that tells you where you are obligated to register across 27 EU VAT countries and 27 EPR markets.

Built by an EU VAT and EPR specialist with 14+ years of hands-on practice across FBA sellers, logistics providers, and international retailers. A TaxTech diagnostic platform, not a generic tool.

Country-by-country clarity

Know exactly where you stand, across every EU market you operate in.

EU VAT and EPR obligations don't follow a single rule. Thresholds differ by country. Storing FBA inventory triggers local obligations regardless of your sales volume. Pan-EU FBA automatically distributes your stock across multiple countries, each of which may require registration.

VATCompass analyses your specific business profile and delivers a clear status per country (register, monitor, or not required) so you know exactly what to act on.

Prioritised next actions

Act on what matters first. Not on everything at once.

Not all obligations are equally urgent. Some countries require immediate action. Others can be monitored. VATCompass ranks your compliance obligations by priority, so you know where to focus first and what can wait.

Every report includes direct links to official registration portals, PRO schemes, and where required, notes on Authorised Representative requirements, so you can take action without wading through dense regulatory text.

Built for cross-border e-commerce

Designed for the complexity of EU market expansion: FBA, Shopify, and beyond.

Generic tax tools don't understand cross-border e-commerce. VATCompass was built from the ground up for sellers using Amazon's Pan-European and European Fulfilment Network programmes, Shopify merchants shipping into the EU, and any business navigating cross-border VAT and EPR obligations.

Our intake form captures your exact selling footprint (sales countries, stock countries, packaging volume, product categories) and maps it against current VAT and EPR rules in each jurisdiction.

Client feedback

"The report received after filling the form helped me understand if I am at risk and clarify the following steps to take. It provides fast, clear and straightforward answers and unlike the information provided by the Spanish and Dutch tax offices, with the VATCompass report I do not feel overwhelmed."

Why Your Pan-EU FBA Inventory Is Already Out of VAT Compliance

If you sell through Amazon's Pan-European FBA programme, your inventory is being stored in multiple EU countries automatically, and each one may trigger a VAT registration obligation, regardless of sales volume.
