What compliance requires
Four steps we own end to end
Compliance is not one task. It is a chain. Drop a link and the audit risk follows. We hold every link so your team holds none.
- Register where you owe We map every EU market you sell into. Then we register you where the rules say you must. No guessing which border triggers a duty.
- Pick the right scheme OSS for distance sales of goods and services. IOSS for low-value imports. We choose the scheme that fits each revenue line.
- File on one calendar Quarterly returns across all 27 member states run from a single filing calendar. Deadlines are tracked. Nothing slips.
- Reconcile to the cent Payouts, processor fees and VAT are matched line by line. Your auditors trace every figure. Quarter-end stops being a scramble.
Choosing a scheme
OSS or IOSS — and often both
Two EU schemes simplify cross-border VAT. They cover different sales. Most growing sellers use each one. Here is how they split.
IOSS — Import One-Stop Shop
For low-value imports into the EU
- Imported goods in consignments up to €150
- VAT charged at the point of sale, not at customs
- Faster customs clearance for your buyers
- One monthly return for all qualifying imports
The numbers that trigger an obligation
- €10K EU-wide distance-sales threshold before OSS applies
- ≤ €150 Import ceiling cleared VAT-paid through the IOSS scheme
- 27 Member-state filings folded into one OSS return
- Quarterly OSS return cadence we manage end to end
Common questions
What finance teams ask first
When do I have to register for EU VAT?
Your EU-wide distance sales pass €10,000 in a year. At that point you owe VAT in the buyer's country. We register you before the line is crossed.
Should I use OSS or IOSS?
OSS covers distance sales inside the EU. IOSS covers low-value imports up to €150. Many sellers need both. We map your revenue to the right scheme.
What does audit-proof reporting mean here?
Every VAT figure ties back to a payout and a processor fee. The trail is complete. An auditor can follow any number from return to bank statement.
Can you file the returns for us?
Yes. We are a hands-on partner, not just an advisor. We handle registration, the quarterly returns and the reconciliation that backs them.
