💶 OSS - One Stop Shop - Unified European VAT
Updated over 4 months ago

❓ From July 1, 2021, as a seller, you do not need to calculate turnover abroad, and there is no longer a requirement to register as a local VAT payer—for example, the VAT obligation in Germany when exceeding 100,000 EUR.

🔥 EXPANDO does not assist with OSS registration; this needs to be addressed with an accountant or your tax advisor.

  • You must register for OSS if your turnover exceeds 10,000 EUR abroad (in any country or the total turnover).

  • OSS applies when sending goods directly to end customers in European countries.

🔥 Note: OSS does not apply if you use warehouses abroad—in this case, local VAT still applies. So, if you use FBA in Germany, you must still handle sales through a German VAT number (DE VAT ID).

OSS is used for VAT collection in the Czech Republic and Slovakia for selected supplies provided cross-border to end consumers (B2C) in other EU countries, where the supplier is obliged to collect VAT in the consumer's member state (the member state of consumption). The supplier (OSS user) registers in the OSS scheme and pays VAT only in one EU member state (i.e., Czech Republic or Slovakia), even though the transactions are cross-border within the EU.
