Foreign VAT registration & OSS

Once you cross certain sales thresholds, or when you use overseas warehouses, VAT on sales to European consumers needs the right regime: direct registration, a fiscal representative, or OSS and IOSS. We assess the most suitable option and handle the periodic filings.

What's included

Review of thresholds and VAT obligations in different EU countries
Direct VAT registration or registration through a fiscal representative
Enrolment in and management of the OSS regime for EU distance sales
Enrolment in and management of the IOSS regime for non-EU sales to consumers
Preparation of periodic OSS/IOSS returns
Coordination with foreign tax correspondents, where needed

When it makes sense

You sell to consumers in other EU countries above a certain annual threshold
You use overseas warehouses (e.g. FBA programmes) that create local VAT obligations
You sell low-value products to non-EU customers and want to simplify customs

What we need to start

Sales volumes by destination country
Information on the warehouses or storage facilities used abroad
