Austria and Italy have enacted similar legislation respective to their countries. These laws apply to Austrian and Italian sellers, as well as sellers elsewhere in the EU who have sold to buyers in Austria and Italy. You can read Austria’s legislation and Italy’s legislation.

Etsy is required by laws in Austria and Italy to collect and remit certain taxpayer information and sales data to the respective Austrian and Italian authorities on a regular basis.

For sellers in Austria, we must report details such as gross sales as well as your tax ID number where applicable.

For sellers in Italy, we must report the number of sales as well as the gross sales you’ve received from EU buyers located outside of Italy.

For EU sellers outside of Austria or Italy, we must report the number of sales as well as the gross sales to Austrian and Italian buyers.

Gross sales means the total reportable amount of funds transacted during sales, and includes shipping, refunds, card processing fees, tax collected by you, and even canceled orders.
