# My invoice has the note “intra community”; what does that mean?

## It’s the duty of the roaster to declare the intra community invoices to the local tax authorities.

[Warehouse Pick-up (FCA/FOT)](http://youtu.be/hJHGjsDCG4o?si=HFIkQIAuXTfuwP4z) and [Delivery (DDP)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8v0ikTpG2A&list=PL3fcBz7aZdk8fqzH9_s3gp4TRUqVGPn6d&index=4) across countries within EU member states (and Northern Ireland) usually qualify for **tax-free intra-community** deliveries. In order to qualify for an intra-community delivery, you need a **valid VAT number from an EU member state** at the time of delivery (you can check whether your VAT number qualifies [here](https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/#/vat-validation)).

While tax-free, you need to declare the intra-community delivery in your VAT and Intrastat submissions according to the reporting requirements of your country, using your VAT and Algrano’s VAT indicated at the header of the invoice. Algrano will also declare the delivery on our side.

If you organize the transport yourself by selecting “Warehouse Pick-up” (FCA/FOT), make sure you keep the respective transport document (CMR), as this may be requested as evidence if you ever get audited on VAT. If Algrano organizes “Delivery” (DDP), you can request these documents from us if needed.

If you have any questions about **intra-community deliveries**, please reach out to us at support@algrano.com
