When is a confirmation of receipt required?
Intra-Community supplies
When companies ship goods from Germany to business customers within the EU, the delivery can be VAT-free under certain conditions.
Proof for the tax office
Companies must be able to document that the goods have actually arrived in another EU country. This is precisely the purpose of the confirmation of arrival.
Digital evidence possible
In many cases, combined shipping, tracking and delivery information is sufficient to meet the requirements of the tax authorities.
