VAT. It’s a four-letter word that strikes fear into the hearts of even the most seasoned e-commerce businesses, especially those that sell to customers in the EU. That’s because VAT compliance can be a complex and time-consuming process, especially since Brexit.
If you’re selling goods to customers in the EU, you need to be aware of the IOSS and OSS VAT regulations. These schemes are designed to simplify the VAT compliance process for businesses selling low-value goods to EU customers.
“But remember, even aspirin can have side effects. So, if you’re considering using the IOSS or OSS schemes, be sure to talk to your accountant or tax advisor first, to get the correct prescription for your situation!”
