  Dear BrickLink members,

The LEGO Group released the following statement regarding the war in Ukraine.

Our thoughts are with all the children and families suffering as a result of
the war in Ukraine.
Our priority is the safety of all our colleagues. We are in contact with our
Ukrainian team and are providing ongoing support to ensure their safety. We are
also working to support other colleagues around the world impacted by the escalating
crisis including our team in Russia.

We have paused shipments of products to Russia given the extensive disruption
to the operating environment.

We care deeply about the lasting impact on children and together with the LEGO
Foundation and Ole Kirk’s Fond, we will donate DKK 110 million (approx. USD 16.5
million) to emergency relief efforts, with a focus on providing support for children
and families. The donation will be made to existing partners, including the United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Save the Children, and the Danish Red Cross.

This is a volatile and constantly evolving situation which we are monitoring
closely.
What does this mean for BrickLink?

The global payment platforms we use on BrickLink are currently not available
in Russia and deliveries to and from the country are severely disrupted. Given
this, buying and selling activities in Russia will be temporarily deactivated.
Members impacted by this will be informed individually.

We are grateful for everyone in our community and never imagined we would face
a situation such as this or witness the heartbreak and devastation we’re seeing
in Ukraine.

Please continue to adhere to our community guidelines and show each other respect
and support.

Thank you for your understanding.
The BrickLink team

The USA has sanctions/ trade embargo against Belarus. I imagine Poland also has
similar, in line with EU regulations. https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/policies/sanctions-against-belarus/

Tecnically less than 2000€ AND 30 orders per year.

Technically, it depends if you’re talking about the obligation to declare or
about the exception to not declare.

That is:
— you must declare if you’re OVER 2,000€ OR 30 orders in a year,
— you don’t have to declare if you’re UNDER 2,000€ AND 30 orders in a year.

IOW: you’re both right!  Celebrate with wafles! 🧇🧇🧇

The TIN of every UBO, just the BL account holder, or of the business (not aware

But this is about DAC-7, not about OSS & the €10k “Distance Selling” threshold.

AFAIK, DAC-7 wants to know for how much you sell, not what you buy.

And, again, there’s no proof that what you buy here, you sell here.  At most,
if DAC-7 was interested in that, it would ask for your buying _separately_, not
“selling minus buying.”

Because of margin goods

https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/bldcontentnl/belastingdienst/zakelijk/btw/bijzondere_regelingen/margeregeling/

As far as I know margin goods do not count towards the EU-marketplace rules.
But need to be done with your local tax office.
We informed BrickLink about those rules back in 2022 with a signed document by
our local taxation office confirming our statement.
Now in 2024 those rules still apply and as far as I`m aware it will still exist
in the same form after 2024.

(AFAIK...).

Why?   The regulation asks for what you sell, not what you buy.

Of course you need to buy before you sell, but buying here is no different from
buying elsewhere.
(Besides, there’s also no way to know if you sell here what you buy here.  You
might buy elswhere to sell here and buy here to sell elsewhere, hopefully for
you at a higher price each time.)

If by sellers not sending to Norway you mean Bricklink shows a message that the
seller does not support orders to Norway then you can try to contact those sellers
as they just need to accept PayPal Onsite or Stripe as payment methods.

I believe BL is required by law to collect VAT and remit to the Norwegian authorities.
I'm guessing that many sellers just don't want to bother with the VOEC
number or the possibility of something going wrong.

But which problem?
BrickLink provides an invoice showing VAT has been paid and the VOEC number.

I don't understand.
