EORI number: how to obtain one in the European Union
Obtaining an EORI number is an essential step for businesses importing or exporting goods within the European Union. Whether your company is established in the EU or abroad, having a valid EORI is often required to complete customs declarations and avoid delays at the border. This guide explains what an EORI number is, who needs one, how the registration process works in Spain and throughout the EU, and the documentation generally required. It also explains how VAT Green Tax can assist businesses in obtaining a Spanish EORI number in less than three working days in straightforward cases.
Spanish VAT Refund for Non-EU Companies attending trade fairs and events in Spain
Many non-EU businesses wrongly assume that Spanish VAT cannot be recovered if their country has no reciprocity agreement with Spain. However, Article 119 bis of the Spanish VAT Law provides an important exception for expenses related to commercial trade fairs, congresses and professional exhibitions held in Spain. Companies from the United States, China, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates and many other jurisdictions may be entitled to recover VAT on qualifying hotel, restaurant, transport and event access costs. This guide explains the legal framework, eligibility requirements, common mistakes and how to successfully claim a Spanish VAT refund.
EPR IN FRANCE. PACKAGING WEEE AND BATTERIES
France has one of the most comprehensive Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) systems in Europe. If your business sells packaged products, electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) or batteries in France, you may be required to register, obtain a Unique Identification Number (UIN), submit periodic reports and comply with French environmental regulations. This guide explains who is affected, which products are covered, the main compliance obligations and the risks of non-compliance. At VAT & Green Tax, we help international businesses manage French EPR registrations and ongoing compliance for packaging, WEEE, batteries and other environmental obligations across the European Union.
