EC sales lists (ESL)

Supplementary documents are also required when filing a VAT return in the EU. The most common is an EC sales list (ESL) which is filed either monthly or quarterly and contains details of any business done with VAT registered companies in the EU.

ESLs show local tax offices that the VAT is being declared by all parties in cross-border transactions. To qualify as an ESL, the VAT numbers of both companies involved in a transaction must be recorded.

We can compile your ESLs and submit them on time to the relevant tax office, ensuring all the information, such as VAT numbers, invoices and figures, are complete.
