- Selling through multiple channels (webshop, Amazon, Bol.com, Shopify) complicates VAT OSS in the Netherlands due to differing VAT responsibilities.
- Correct VAT and OSS reporting depends on identifying who is the supplier: you or the platform.
- Bookkeeping must separate sales by channel and country to avoid errors.
- Each sales channel (webshop, Amazon, Bol.com, other marketplaces, B2B) may have different VAT rules and data quality.
- The main challenge is structuring and reporting, not tax rates; clean logic and bookkeeping are essential.
