Webshop sells to EU consumers, apply OSS or IOSS?

Above 10,000 EUR EU revenue to consumers your sales fall under OSS (goods + services within EU). For shipments under 150 EUR from outside the EU, IOSS is the practical route.

Try this first

  1. 1Count your EU cross-border B2C revenue over current and last year, below 10k you may keep charging NL VAT.
  2. 2Above that threshold register for OSS via the Dutch tax portal, one quarterly return for all of EU.
  3. 3Adapt your webshop to charge the correct country VAT, Shopify Markets, WooCommerce plugins and Lightspeed support this.
  4. 4For imports under 150 EUR from outside the EU register separately for IOSS, otherwise the customer pays at the door and abandons.
  5. 5Split your VAT ledger accounts per country or per OSS category, otherwise the return becomes a manual calculation.
