Threshold and registration for Iceland
Remote sellers must register for VAT if their taxable turnover in Iceland exceeds 2,000,000 ISK within any 12-month period, and it requires fiscal representation. Remote sellers who provide electronically supplied services and subscriptions to physical papers and magazines for Icelandic consumers can use a simplified registration procedure (VOES) that doesn’t require fiscal representation. Sales to VAT-registered businesses where the customer pays for the VAT through the reverse charge mechanism don’t count towards the threshold.
Supported calculations for Iceland
In Iceland, Stripe only supports collecting VAT for digital services. In Stripe, these are referred to as “digital products.” To collect this tax on Stripe, you must be a remote seller without a physical presence in the country.
We only support calculations for digital products (non-physical items or services that are delivered, given, or rendered electronically) in Iceland. Stripe doesn’t calculate tax for products that don’t use a digital product tax code. View the list of supported digital product tax codes. To calculate taxes in Iceland, make sure that you assign a tax code to each of your products.
