Why www.vesselstatement.com was founded:

In 2018, the EU commission decreed that a sharper definition of a seagoing vessels eligible for 0% VAT was necessary. This due to situations in EU member states where 0% tax deliveries had been applied to broadly. This was followed by court rulings. Since, ship operators, ship owners, managers (hereafter all called operators) as well as the suppliers of goods and services active in European ports are obliged to have a written form stating the nature of the applicable 0% VAT status of the cargo vessels.
