Changes to Northern Ireland’s VAT accounting schemes for distance sales and penalties regime

• The Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) and One Stop Shop (OSS) are VAT accounting schemes for Northern Ireland businesses.
• Businesses can choose to use these schemes or account for VAT through a normal VAT return.
• The IOSS will be amended to include sales within the UK, including sales between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
• The penalties and interest regime for businesses using the IOSS and OSS schemes will align with the UK VAT penalties and interest regime.
• The regulations will come into force on 1 March 2024.
