As a well-known e-commerce platform in Poland, Allegro has been committed to providing more comprehensive and effective service support, providing merchants with a series of VAT and shipping country information viewing channels. In the downloaded sales report, merchants can easily obtain key data such as Tax parameters and Shipping country, which is very important for merchants’ operations and compliance. This article will deeply interpret the VAT and shipping country information in Allegro’s sales report to help merchants better understand and use this data.
1. VAT information analysis
1.1 VAT Rate (PL)
In the sales report, merchants can clearly see the VAT rate applicable to the goods sold. This information is crucial for setting prices and understanding tax costs. Allegro provides merchants with a transparent VAT Rate (PL), allowing merchants to accurately understand the tax situation of each transaction.
1.2 Subject of the offer
It is an important basis for VAT collection to clarify whether the sale is a product or a service. In Tax parameters, Allegro provides merchants with detailed information on the Subject of the offer. Merchants can clearly understand the sales entities involved in each Offer, so as to better plan their tax strategies.
1.3 Basis for VAT exclusion
In some cases, goods may qualify for VAT exemption. In this case, merchants need to clearly understand the Basis for VAT exclusion. The provision of this information enables merchants to operate in compliance and enjoy corresponding tax exemptions according to regulations.
2. Analysis of shipping country information
2.1 Shipping country
Merchants can also view information about which country the goods are shipped from in the sales report. For cross-border e-commerce, clear identification of the shipping country helps merchants better manage logistics and fulfill orders. Understanding the shipping country can also provide merchants with more logistics decision support, optimize transportation timeliness and reduce costs.
3. Default settings
When the merchant’s offer is subject to EU e-commerce VAT regulations, but no specific information about VAT is provided, Allegro will set the following parameters by default:
VAT Rate (PL) — Polish standard VAT rate (23%)
Subject of the offer — Product
Basis for VAT exclusion — None
This default setting provides merchants with flexibility, but also requires merchants to accurately fill in key information such as VAT and shipping country when publishing products to ensure that the data in the sales report accurately reflects the actual situation.
4. How to view sales reports
Merchants can view sales reports in two ways:
4.1 Export on the order page: Merchants can select a specific order on the order page and click the “export” button to export the sales report.
4.2 Select Sales statement and download via email: Merchants can select Sales statement and download sales reports via email to ensure that they can obtain and view key data in a timely manner.
By deeply interpreting the VAT and shipping country information in the sales report, merchants can better understand the tax situation of each transaction, rationally plan pricing strategies, and improve sales quality, thereby achieving greater commercial success on the Allegro platform. Allegro’s move provides merchants with more comprehensive and transparent data support, helping them stand out in the e-commerce competition.
