On 1 July 2021, all European Union Member States rolled out a new e-commerce VAT system which entails a One-Stop Shop (OSS) and Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) program. The aim of those programs is to promote both the cross-border online trade and trade across the EU by simplifying compliance obligations.
IOSS is a new scheme for reporting sales of goods imported from outside the EU into the EU and valued at less than 150 EUR. Under the IOSS, the importer can charge customers with VAT at the point of sale then declare and pay the VAT via a monthly IOSS return. IOSS allows suppliers and electronic interfaces selling imported goods to buyers in the EU to collect, declare and pay the VAT to the tax authorities, instead of making the buyer pay the VAT at the moment the goods are imported into the EU as it was previously the case (for products over 22 EUR).
