EC Sales Lists (ESL)

As businesses expand their international operations, they often become involved in trade with partners in other EU countries. The EC Sales List is an additional report that must be filed as part of the tax obligations for cross-border transactions within the EU.

These lists, which are filed monthly or quarterly, provide details of sales or transfers of goods and services to other VAT-registered companies in other EU Member States. ECSL in the EU allow tax offices to confirm that all parties correctly and fully declare VAT in cross-border transactions.

The ECSL is a tool that allows tax authorities to monitor and verify that VAT is being correctly accounted for by operators engaged in cross-border activities in the EU. The list provides detailed information on sales or transfers of goods and services between VAT-registered businesses in different EU Member States.
