Use the online form service or postal form to account for the UK Excise Duty on distance sales on behalf of vendors in other EU member states.
You can either:
use the online form service (sign in to, or set up a Government Gateway account) print the postal form, fill in by hand and post to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) Before you start using the postal formIf you are using an older browser, eg Internet Explorer 8, you’ll need to update it or use a different browser.
