Etsy + KudTax
Connect your Etsy seller account with KudTax to automatically reconcile platform fees, marketplace commissions, payouts and VAT rates across all EU countries into DATEV-ready entries.
Etsy sellers are usually small businesses or side ventures, which is exactly why they slide into arrangements nobody planned: sales into several EU countries, fees in foreign currency, Etsy Ads billed separately. Etsy's monthly statement rolls all of it together without separating the VAT rates. That is where the import starts.

What to watch for with Etsy
Etsy remits part of the VAT itself
On certain deliveries Etsy acts as deemed supplier and owes the VAT itself. Those sales must not be taxed again in your own return, and without a clean split at import the same turnover gets declared twice.
Fees often run in a foreign currency
Etsy bills some fees in US dollars and converts only at payout. Booking the euro payout figure as fee expense loses the exchange difference, which belongs in its own position rather than silently inside the fees.
