IOSS registrations can take as little as 3 working days, meaning if you talk to us on Monday, we can have your IOSS number by Thursday.
You need to include your EORI number on any customs declarations you’re filling out. If you want to use Duty Deferment in the UK, you’ll need to link your EORI number to your Customs Declaration Service (CDS) account.
We can get you an EORI number and help you decide which country you should register in. We’ll need some details about your business, so book a call and we’ll get things started.
Since the UK left the EU (Brexit), HMRC (the UK’s tax and customs authority) has handled two EORI numbers: GB and XI. If you’re shipping goods into or through England, Scotland or Wales you’ll need a GB EORI number. If you’re shipping goods into or through Northern Ireland, you’ll need an XI EORI number. This is because Northern Ireland continues to apply EU VAT and customs rules for physical goods.
To apply for an EORI number you’ll need some basic information about your business such as your business registration information, VAT number (if you have one), and other identification details used by the relevant tax authority.
It varies depending on which country you’re registering in. In Austria it usually takes two days whereas in Denmark it can take up to three weeks.
Your EORI number will usually be provided by the authority that issued it once your registration is complete. It may also appear on customs documentation or communications from the relevant tax authority.
We’ll guide you through what’s needed based on where you’re registering. Book a call with us and we’ll explain exactly what information is required for your situation.
Simply VAT Rating on Trustpilot
We are using the SimplyVAT service for ages. They never let us down. Very reliable and responsible company with great customer managers. Highly recommended.
A very professional firm that has taken the pain away from our monthly EU VAT filings. I can only vouch for their high level of service and quick response time to our various questions. What a difference from our previous provider (VatGlobal). Do not hesitate to use them.
The world of EU VAT registration is fraught with complexity and unseen hurdles. SimplyVAT navigated all of this for us efficiently and effectively, indluding extracting refunds!
Communication was excellent!
I love being creative and sharing my work with the world, but taxes does my head in, and EU VAT even more so! However, with the help from everyone at SimplyVAT - from the initial client call, to signing up, to registering with the EU for VAT - I've had excellent support.
Especially the calls I have had with Tamara and Debbie have been priceless, they walked me through my VAT return step-by-step, using language I could understand (translating TAX-lingo whenever needed).
With their guidance and reassurance I feel confident my business will run smoothly, with all EU VAT requirements met. Can't recommend SimplyVAT enough

Really smooth process from start to finish. I represent a Kiwi company entering the EU market and looked around at options for helping sort VAT. SimplyVAT were excellent right from the start - making what would have been a very complicated process simple and clear. Clear communication and a nice backend portal made the process run smoothly.
Flawless service, by SimplyVAT have had excellent service first by Liza and then Sonja. Both have been amazing
Full Review: Amazing experience! This is a game changer for those in the E-commerce space etc. They quickly understand your needs and finds the best approach. Would highly recommend
We have been working with Simply VAT for years now. We always get a great service from them and Vittoria always looks after our account really well.
Our account manager, Vittoria, provides a consistently high level of communication and service, which. She is very quick at replying and is very thorough in her responses as well. Our previous account manager wasn't great and we were considering leaving SimplyVAT, but to her credit, Vittoria came in and restored our faith in the company. Thanks again 🙂
