Chain Transaction Calculator Germany / Dispatch by E2 (DE-DE-FR)
 

Facts:

A French entrepreneur E3 (= last purchaser) orders a machine at his German supplier E2 (=1st purchaser). Since the supplier E2 does not have the machine in stock, he orders it from the German wholesaler E1 (= first supplier).
The German entrepreneur E2 instructs his forwarder with the pickup of the machine from the German wholesaler E1 and subsequent delivery to the French entrepreneur E3. The German entrepreneur E2 (=intermediary operator) acts with his (German) VAT identification number and he communicates it to the German wholesaler E1 in writing in the order document at the latest until the beginning of the shipment.

  • "Supply 1" from E1 (Germany) to E2 (Germany)
    • Transaction without transport/dispatch assignment (§ 3 (7) UStG)
    • Taxable supply in Germany (E1)
