What is the One-Stop Shop (OSS)?
The One-Stop Shop (OSS) is an EU system that simplifies VAT reporting for businesses selling goods or services to consumers in other EU countries. Instead of registering in each member state, you declare all VAT from your home country through a single portal.
Import Scheme (IOSS)
For shipments of goods imported from outside the EU worth less than 150 euros. Monthly declaration.
Union Scheme
For sales of goods and services within the EU to final consumers (B2C). The most common for e-commerce.
Non-Union Scheme
For businesses outside the EU selling digital services to EU consumers.
Automatic VAT
The right VAT rate on every invoice, hands-free
Holded detects the customer's destination country and applies the matching VAT rate. Germany 19%, France 20%, Italy 22% - all automatic.
VAT rates for all 27 EU countries
Holded keeps tax rates up to date across every member state. When regulations change, rates update automatically.
Automatic country detection
Based on the customer's country or tax address, Holded selects the applicable VAT rate and reflects it on the invoice.
Intra-community invoicing
Invoice any EU country without the hassle
Issue invoices with each member state's local VAT. Holded handles the tax complexity so you can focus on selling.
