Frictionless European commerce for British brands

The end of the Brexit transition period introduced hard customs borders and eliminated low-value parcel exemptions. We provide the operational infrastructure to keep your European sales humming.

01

Eliminate Doorstep Fee Shocks

Parcels shipped without an IOSS number result in postal and courier carriers demanding unexpected import VAT and £12–£20 clearance surcharges from your customers. IOSS delivers a frictionless checkout-to-doorstep experience.

02

Licensed EU IOSS Intermediary

As an established EU tax firm, VAT Support acts as your statutory IOSS Intermediary with joint and several liability, managing registration, monthly returns, and direct tax authority liaisons.

03

HMRC & EU Dual Reporting

We reconcile zero-rated UK export evidence for HMRC while managing destination-rate European filings in EUR using official European Central Bank rates, ensuring clean statutory audit trails.

Frequently Asked Questions

UK Seller European VAT FAQ

How can a UK webstore ship parcels to EU customers without customs delays or unexpected fees at the doorstep?
For orders with consignment values under €150 (£135), registering for the EU Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) is the gold standard. You collect the customer's local VAT rate at web checkout, and parcels clear EU customs via the green lane with zero import VAT or courier handling charges billed to the recipient.
Does a UK business need a Fiscal Representative in the EU?
Under EU VAT law, non-EU businesses (including post-Brexit UK companies) must appoint an EU-established IOSS Intermediary with joint liability to register for IOSS. For holding stock in EU warehouses (such as Amazon Pan-EU FBA in France, Italy, or Poland), a statutory Fiscal Representative is mandatory. In Germany, direct registration is permitted.
What happens to orders exceeding €150 (£135)?
Consignments over €150 cannot use IOSS. They require standard customs entry with payment of customs duty and import VAT. UK sellers typically ship under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms via an express carrier or import bulk stock into an EU 3PL warehouse under their EU EORI.
How is currency conversion handled between GBP and EUR?
Our platform automatically converts your GBP store orders into EUR using official European Central Bank (ECB) exchange rates published for each monthly or quarterly reporting period, ensuring total alignment between UK HMRC export records and EU tax returns.
