OSS Procedure

What is EU-OSS?

EU-OSS is an electronic portal through which traders and companies can fulfill their VAT obligations within the EU. VAT now only has to be declared in one country in the case of intra-Community trade. With OSS, this can now be done through a central system.
A detailed explanation and what you have to consider as a store owner we have also compiled in our blog.

From when does the regulation apply?

The one-stop store process will go into effect on July 1, 2021.

Does the EU OSS apply to you?

The new threshold is EU-uniform and amounts to 10.000€. If you exceed this threshold, you should register in the respective online OSS portal.

What does that mean for you?

The store should clearly show the delivery country for which the displayed prices apply. You should also transparently display the possibility to select the delivery country with the respective prices in the store.

To enable this, you can go to Settings > Basic Settings > Storefront > Shopping cart / item details to transparently show shipping cost calculation in the shopping cart (1) and show shipping cost calculation in the mini/off-canvas shopping cart (2).

As soon as the options are set to "Expanded" you will see the delivery country, payment method and shipping method.
