Doing business with USA member states
in Business, Accounting & Taxes ·
So, I’ve got a situation here. An American company is getting an invoice for some goods acquired from a supplier in Bulgaria. There's a receipt attached to the invoice. Now, the twist is that this exact same merchandise is being sold off to a customer who is also based in Bulgaria. All three parties involved have valid VAT IDs. Here’s the kicker: the goods never actually move. The Bulgarian supplier ships them directly to the Bulgarian buyer. The American company is just acting as the middleman in this whole setup, and they aren't even tacking on a markup. Honestly, I don't get it. If both the supplier and the buyer are right there in Bulgaria, why on earth is this being routed through an American firm?
