Similar to EU-established companies, entities from outside the EU should have a legitimate business and should be registered taxpayers in their country of origin.
They will be required to provide a Certificate of Incorporation indicating the name, address, legal status and legal representative of the company, a tax certificate, a passport copy of the legal representative, a bank statement and an Articles of Association (or similar document which specifies the regulations of the company’s operations and defines the company’s purpose).
In case of partnership, a passport copy of the second person is also needed.
In addition, Non-EU companies are required to appoint a fiscal representative in more than half of the 27 EU member states. For more information about Fiscal Representation please see separate article on the topic.
