Hello,
I sell on the German market, and I want to do pan-European, does anyone know a company that issues a cheaper VAT code, I received an offer today of over 3000 euros per year, does it seem like a lot to me or are these the prices?
Thanks

If you go direct to the issuing tax authority, issuing of the number is free.
Submitting your vat returns, which could be monthly or quarterly is what costs the money. This could land you in deep water if not done properly.
I have no recommendations, sorry.
Do you want to register for VAT in Germany?
In the current market, companies helping non-EU sellers with Pan‑European FBA VAT registration and compliance tend to charge between approximately €1,800 and €5,000 per year, depending on how many countries and the complexity involved.
You can Google some of them.
For example, Staxxer charges about €1,795 for VAT registration across the six core pan‑EU countries, while some comprehensive providers like VATGlobal may charge up to €5,000 annually.
There are also lower-cost options; certain UK-based services offer packages starting from around £90 per month (~€1,080 per year), and other providers quoted around €850 annually.
So while €3,000 per year is on the higher side, it’s within the marketplace range depending on the level of service, number of countries included, and value-added support (like bookkeeping, filings, and consultancy). It’s worth comparing what each package includes—especially whether filings, local fiscal representation, OSS/IOSS compliance, and bookkeeping are part of the annual fee—before deciding.
