BUSINESS WITHIN EU

[friendstaller]

Dear All, Am living in finland and planning to import goods from Africa and Asia into Europe and am non-EU. My question is, if i open import & export company in finland, can i use it to CLEAR my goods from like germany, holland or belguim ports?, 2, Will those countries tax me if my warehouse is there or i will pay my tax here in finland? In all, how does it work for non-EU to do that?

Whether you are an EU national or a non-EU national makes no difference as long as you have residency in Finland. To start a company in FInland you must be an EU resident.

If you are importing goods into the EU from outside the EU, duty and VAT are due at the port of entry into the EU.

As a private individual (domiciled in the EU) you pay tax where you are a resident.

Your company is liable for VAT and company tax where it is registered, so that would be Finland if you start up a company here.

There is quite alot for you to thnk about, you neither want to get stumped for nto paying tax or paying tax twice in two locations. It is probably best to get some proper tax advice, better to be on the safe side than the sorry side.
