VAT Number

• A value-added tax identification number or VAT identification number is an identifier used in many countries, including the countries of the European Union, for value-added tax purposes.

EORI Number

• Economic Operators Registration and Identification - is a European Union registration and identification number for businesses that import or export goods into or out of the EU.

OSS

• The One Stop Shop - is an online portal, developed from the existing Mini One Stop Shop, that allows online businesses to report certain B2C EU supplies in a single Member State. As such, a single quarterly payment and VAT return will be due for the supplies covered by OSS, rather than multiple local returns and endless payments.

IOSS

• The Import One-Stop Shop is the electronic portal businesses can use since 1 July 2021 to comply with their VAT e-commerce obligations on distance sales of imported goods. Allows suppliers and electronic interfaces selling imported goods to buyers in the EU to collect, declare and pay the VAT to the tax authorities, instead of making the buyer pay the VAT when the goods are imported into the EU.
