Intrastat thresholds in 2023
We have published our updated overview on Intrastat thresholds for 2023. Have a look at the countries where there are changes.
Intrastat thresholds in EU countries are often updated. We have published our country overview for Intrastat thresholds 2023.
What are Intrastat thresholds?
When we talk about Intrastat thresholds, we refer to the thresholds established by each EU country to exempt businesses performing a lower number of intra-Community transactions from the obligation of submitting Intrastat returns.
Typically, we will see a different threshold amount for dispatches than for arrivals, although in some countries, this is the same amount – e.g., Austria, Malta, Czech Republic, Finland, and Romania.
You can find our updated overview on Intrastat thresholds for 2023 here. This article is also available in Spanish.
How to calculate Intrastat thresholds?
These thresholds are calculated on an annual basis and separately for the dispatches and arrivals flow. This means that you must check if your intra-Community supplies and acquisitions exceeded the correspondent thresholds during the calendar year. In the affirmative case, you must submit Intrastat returns from the month you exceeded the relevant threshold.

Separately, The Netherlands has deleted the Intrastat thresholds this year. Instead, similarly to France, they will notify the taxpayers that are subject to the submission of the Intrastat returns. In order to determine if a company must start submitting Intrastat returns, The Statistics authorities, or CBS, will check and monitor on a monthly basis the amounts of intra-Community transactions performed by the Dutch taxpayers based on their VAT returns. You can find more information on the manual Statistical Declaration ITG 2023, which you can download here.
Combined Nomenclature 2023
As every year, the European Commission has published the Combined Nomenclature applicable from January 2023. Find the official announcement, including the link to the updated document, here.
