Uncover the eligibility criteria for the IOSS scheme and see how MyIOSS can assist your business with VAT management.
The Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) scheme has transformed VAT obligations for businesses selling goods to EU consumers. But who exactly qualifies for this scheme? Let's delve into the eligibility criteria.
The first criterion for IOSS eligibility is selling goods to consumers in the European Union. Businesses outside the EU that sell goods to EU consumers can benefit from the IOSS scheme, as can EU-based businesses that import goods from outside the EU to sell to EU consumers.
The IOSS scheme applies only to consignments with a value below €150. If the value of the goods in a single consignment exceeds €150, the IOSS scheme can't be used, and import VAT and customs duty may apply.
To use the IOSS, you need to register and receive an IOSS identification number. This number is required for all packages under €150 sent to the EU. Additionally, IOSS returns need to be filed on a monthly basis, detailing the total VAT collected from all your sales to EU consumers during that month.
Navigating the IOSS eligibility criteria and managing VAT obligations can be challenging, but MyIOSS is here to help.
