VAT taxation depends on whether goods are stored in Spain or shipped from China and their intrinsic value

A professional in the Canary Islands sells goods via a digital platform, acquired either in mainland Spain or in China. The DGT analyses how VAT is taxed depending on whether the goods are previously stored in Spain or shipped directly from abroad, and whether their value exceeds 150 euros.

The question raised

Question posed: Taxation of the operations carried out by the applicant for the purposes of Value Added Tax.

The DGT's ruling

If the goods are stored in Spain, the platform acts as a deemed supplier collecting the VAT. If they are shipped from China, taxation varies: if the value exceeds 150 euros, the customer is the taxable person for the import; if it is less than 150 euros, the platform may be the deemed supplier if it adheres to the special scheme (IOSS).
