Starting a business in Europe — common questions

Which European country is best to incorporate in?

There is no single answer, and anyone who gives you one without asking questions is selling something. Estonia and Ireland are fastest and most remote-friendly. The Netherlands is the classic holding jurisdiction. Germany gives you the largest domestic market but the heaviest formation process, including notarisation and €25,000 of share capital for a GmbH. The right choice follows where your customers, your staff and your banking actually sit — substance requirements mean a paper company in a low-tax state is increasingly likely to be challenged.

Do I need to register for VAT in every EU country I sell to?

No — that is what the One Stop Shop was built to prevent. Since July 2021, cross-border B2C sales of goods and digital services across the EU are reported through a single OSS return in your home member state once you cross the €10,000 EU-wide threshold. Below that threshold you can charge your domestic rate. You still need separate local registrations if you hold stock in another member state, which is what catches out sellers using overseas fulfilment warehouses.

What is an EORI number and do I need one?

An Economic Operators Registration and Identification number is required to move goods across the EU customs border. If you import into or export out of the EU, you need one — it is issued by your member state's customs authority and is valid across the whole union. Businesses trading only in services, or only within the single market, generally do not.
