The 2021 EU VAT Ecommerce Package
The biggest reform to EU cross-border VAT in a generation. Here is what changed — and what it means for your business.
One Stop Shop
Register once in a single EU member state and file a single quarterly return covering all B2C sales across the entire EU. No more registering in every country you sell to.
Import One Stop Shop
For goods shipped from outside the EU in parcels valued at €150 or less. Collect VAT at point of sale and remit monthly — eliminating customs delays for your buyers.
Low-Value Relief Removed
The old €22 import VAT exemption was abolished. Every parcel entering the EU is now subject to VAT — making IOSS registration critical for non-EU sellers.
What VAT rates should you apply?
Each country defines its own VAT rates, and many offer reduced rates for specific product categories. Applying the wrong rate means overcharging customers or underpaying tax authorities.
Provide us with your commodity codes and our team of specialists will confirm the applicable rate for your products across any EU country or the UK.

Common questions answered
Is a VAT number required to sell online?
Whether you need to register for VAT depends on where your customers are, whether they are B2C or B2B, where your stock is held, and your business location. Generally, if you are selling goods to private individuals in the EU or UK, you will need to register for VAT or a scheme such as IOSS.
Should I register my ecommerce store for VAT?
If you have the option to register, it may be advantageous. VAT registration allows you to reclaim input and import VAT. In certain countries, being VAT registered also enables access to schemes like Duty Deferment, which can help with cash flow management.
How is VAT calculated for ecommerce sales?
VAT is a percentage of the net price. Identify the applicable VAT rate for your product in the customer’s country. For example, at the UK standard rate of 20%: Net price £100 + 20% VAT = £120 total. Rates vary by country and product category.
When must I begin collecting VAT?
You must begin collecting VAT once you are registered for VAT or an EU VAT scheme such as IOSS. The timing depends on your specific situation — book a free call with our team to find out when your obligation begins.
