VAT ID- The Canary Islands

[Byalmaklub]

The Canary Islands are not part of Community territory for the purposes of VAT (Article 6 of VAT Directive).

ANYONE IN THE SAME SITUATION? DON´T KNOW WHAT TO DO, ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED

@Byalmaklub: What situation are you in? You will need to provide some details about what you need help with.

[Byalmaklub]

I am located in the Canary Islands, Spain. 

Etsy is asking for VAT ID but The Canary Islands are not part of Community territory for the purposes of VAT (Article 6 of VAT Directive)

@Byalmaklub 

you still have to comply with DAC7

which means you have to enter a tax ID

it's an EU-wide thing

as below, does entering one of the other numbers work?

your TIN should work?

....

More info from Etsy on the EU DAC7 requirement

Spain signed up to DAC7

Etsy will want a tax number from you - not sure how it works for Spain and Canary islands, whether it has to be a VAT number, or another tax ID such as NIE or DNI

[Byalmaklub]

yes i got my DNI, but still has not been fixed. Waiting to here from Etsy. Thanks for you help though;)

[CraftyCornishMaids]

@Byalmaklub 

The DNI does not go in the VAT number field

it goes in "additional taxpayer ID" field, you click the down arrow, and choose" Spain DNI"

[CryzalisMasksUK]

Try putting your NIF number in

[Byalmaklub]

yes, I have added it but the system is still asking me for the VAT ID:(

[PicanteMania]
