US D2C Brand Streamlines EU VAT: From 7 Local IDs to One-Stop Shop

  • A US D2C e-commerce brand selling physical goods migrated from seven separate EU VAT registrations to a centralized One-Stop Shop (OSS) system with hellotax.
  • The transition simplified compliance, reduced filing costs, and streamlined cross-border VAT management.
  • Key challenges included ensuring timely filings, managing import VAT, handling fiscal representation, and keeping UK compliance separate due to Brexit.
  • hellotax implemented a phased plan: rapid takeover of filings, OSS registration in Czechia, coordinated deregistration, import VAT reconciliation, and a central dashboard for monitoring.
  • The brand achieved full VAT compliance and audit readiness across Europe.
