VAT: storing stock in Germany remains a trigger despite OSS
Even when using the One-Stop-Shop, storing inventory in Germany (e.g. via FBA) still triggers a local VAT-registration obligation — a point often missed under Pan-EU programmes.
Recommended action
Before enabling Pan-EU or German FBA, check whether a local VAT registration is required.
