Transportation of Goods for Processing: VAT Implications for Seller in EU Countries

  • When a product undergoes processing on behalf of the seller, the transport to the buyer is considered to begin only when the product is in accordance with the sales agreement
  • The Swedish Tax Agency considers the product to reach the desired condition only after processing, and the transport to the buyer starts at the location of processing
  • If processing occurs in Sweden and the seller is established in another EU country, the physical transport from the seller’s warehouse in the other EU country to Sweden is considered a transfer and the use after transport is treated as an intra-Union acquisition, a taxable transaction.
