The Reform of EU VAT legislation for E-commerce
The European Union has updated VAT rules to streamline the declaration and payment process for cross-border business-to-consumer (B2C) sales. This was achieved by introducing the Union One-Stop-Shop (OSS), which allows businesses to manage their VAT obligations more efficiently.
Benefits of the OSS scheme
With OSS, business owners can report and pay for all cross-border B2C sales to different EU countries through a single quarterly declaration in their country of registration. This system reduces the need for multiple VAT registrations and returns, significantly simplifying the process.
OSS registration: accessible to all companies
Both EU and non-EU companies can benefit from OSS registration. That is why Neele-Vat offers support for this registration and the subsequent VAT declaration in the Netherlands. In addition, this includes facilities for importing and storing goods in Dutch warehouses without direct VAT, prior to shipping to EU customers.

The procedure and customer benefits
Customers pay VAT on their purchases at the time of purchase. Neele-Vat then takes care of the VAT declaration based on the sales data provided. The collected VAT amount is then paid to the tax authorities by the seller, ensuring that the VAT is correctly forwarded to the relevant EU countries.
OSS exceptions.
Not all sales within the EU qualify for the OSS. For sales from warehouses in other EU countries or for specific cases such as B2C sales in the Netherlands, B2B sales, and the transport of own goods between EU warehouses, the regular rules for VAT declaration apply.
The Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) for Non-EU Sales
For sales of non-EU goods to EU consumers, the IOSS scheme offers simplified VAT returns for shipments up to €150. Although Neele-Vat does not offer IOSS representation, we support companies with GFR and Article 23 permits for imports above this value.
