Simplify EU VAT with IOSS

The EU E-Commerce VAT Package came into effect on 1 July 2021. And with it, the need for operational change, business disruption and plenty of accounting complexity.

A key component of the package is the Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) – a new way for companies to meet their EU VAT obligations when trading cross-border.

In this e-book we explain IOSS’s key concepts and common use cases so you can better understand and take advantage of IOSS and how you apply it to your business.

IOSS is expansive, complicated and rewrites the rules for companies selling into and within Europe. This e-book aims to simplify that for you. We cover:

The basics
Intermediary requirements
Key considerations for your business
How to ensure IOSS compliance
How we can help
