Our connected tax office figured out taxation concerning international transactions. Why and how different taxation rules apply depends on a couple of instruments and setups such as reverse tax charges, MOSS and others.

It basically burns down to fruits:

- charging the buyer with the applicable tax between fruits (company in Germany) and the buyer in country XYZ

- each buyer receiving an invoice (issued by fruits)

- the seller receiving a single credit note for all sales within that month targeting a German company (fruits)

We will have to clarify taxation as I can see from comments in this thread - thanks for your input!

VATMOSS would seem to be the way to go, note that you may not have visibility on all of the transactions of a party so you won't be able to determine when they cross the limit for VAT liability for their country.
