How One-Stop-Shop (OSS) Works
Each country has its own Value Added Tax (VAT) rules, and it can be quite complicated to manage. This is where the OSS comes in:
Simplified Reporting
With the OSS, you can report and pay all the VAT you owe for your EU sales in one place, typically in your home country. Instead of dealing with the tax authorities in every EU country you sell to, you only have to deal with your local tax authority.
Collecting VAT
When you sell something to a customer in another EU country, you charge them the VAT rate of their country. For example, if a customer in France buys something from your shop, you charge them the French VAT rate. You then collect this VAT.
Filing and Paying VAT
The VAT collected from customers is referred to as "output VAT" or "VAT on sales." The business keeps track of the total amount of VAT it has collected.
Simplified Process
Your local tax authority calculates how much VAT you owe in total and takes care of distributing it to the tax authorities in the other EU countries. This makes things simpler for you as a business owner.
Benefits of OSS:
- Simplifies VAT compliance for cross-border sales within the EU.
- Reduces administrative burden and the need to register for VAT in multiple member states.
Eligibility for OSS:
- You are eligible for OSS if your business is registered for VAT in an EU member state.
- You sell goods or services to consumers (non-business customers) in multiple EU member states.
Benefits of Non-union OSS:
- Simplified VAT Reporting: Non-Union OSS simplifies the process of reporting and paying Value Added Tax (VAT) on cross-border service sales within the EU. It allows businesses to manage VAT obligations in a single member state, reducing administrative complexity.
- Cost Efficiency: Businesses can avoid the need to register for VAT in multiple EU member states, which can be costly and time-consuming. This streamlines compliance efforts and minimizes administrative expenses.
Eligibility for Non-union OSS:
- The Non-Union OSS is available to both EU and non-EU businesses.
- It is used for reporting VAT on cross-border sales of services to consumers (non-business customers) within the European Union.
How Import One-Stop-Shop (IOSS) Works
Previously, customers often faced extra costs and delays with customs when buying such items. IOSS aims to make this process smoother:
Collecting VAT at Sale
When a customer from the EU buys a low-value product from your online shop outside the EU, you collect the VAT from them at the time of the sale. You charge them the VAT rate of their country.
Declaration through IOSS
You use the IOSS system to declare and pay the VAT you collected. This is usually done through a special online platform provided by your home country's tax authority.
Customs Clearance
When the package arrives in the EU, customs authorities can see that the VAT has already been paid. This means they can release the package without imposing additional VAT or customs duties. It's a faster and smoother process for your customers.
Benefits of IOSS:
- Eases customs clearance for low-value goods.
- Reduces the risk of customs delays and additional charges for consumers.
Eligibility for OSS:
- You are eligible for IOSS if your business is based outside the EU and you sell low-value goods (€150 or less) to consumers within the EU.
