(IOSS) makes VAT compliance for businesses importing goods for sale to EU customers much easier. If your company isn’t based in the EU, you’ll almost certainly need to hire an agent to handle IOSS registration and compliance on your behalf.

By appointing an agent to handle your VAT, you can make the whole process much easier. Furthermore, with the right expert handling all of the legalities, you will always be VAT compliant.

You no longer need to register for VAT in the various EU states where your customers are located if you use the IOSS. Instead, you can register for the IOSS in a single EU country and submit a single IOSS VAT return to account for all of your sales across the EU
