Recapitulative statement
Supplies of goods and/or other services in the EU single market are performed with exemption from VAT in the country of origin, fulfilling certain conditions. In the country of the customer, these supplies of goods and other services must be subjected to VAT by the purchaser.
To ensure taxation in the country of the customer, an extensive exchange of data is required. Central authorities have been established throughout the European Union for this purpose.
Businesses who perform tax-exempt supplies and/or other services in the EU single market are therefore required to submit a recapitulative statement (RS) on these supplies of goods and other services.
