Hi. I was just wondering what VAT is like when I e.g. Claim online services like Netflix.
1. Which countries do the taxes go to? Germany or USA?
2. Is this an isolated case with the United States because of an agreement, or is it always so?
3. What is the situation within the EU? If I e.g. Have a Deezer subscription. Which country do the Steurn go to? France or Germany?
If companies have to pay tax abroad:
4. If I just want to offer something online and someone comes from abroad, do I have to contact the authorities in their country to pay the taxes there?
In the EU area you can request a VAT ID from the tax office. The VAT ID is then intended to buy & sell virtually without VAT.
The partner must then also have a VAT ID
In German Is that then DE with 9 digits
Value Added Tax Number VAT ID with other country codes
If the foreign partner does not have a VAT ID; which you can also check if this is valid, you have to calculate the German VAT with 19% VAT

Outside of this there are still customs fees, as there are tables for various devices
