IOSS is an optional EU VAT scheme that allows businesses to sell to customers all over the EU on a single VAT return. It was introduced alongside One Stop Shop (OSS) in July 2021 to replace low-value consignment relief.
You can register for IOSS if:
To get an IOSS number, you'll need to register for the scheme. When you're registered, you'll be given an IOSS number unique to your business. Registering is simple, and we can get the process started with a few details.
IOSS registration can be completed in as little as 3 working days —start on Monday, and you could have your IOSS number by Thursday.
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.
IOSS has some rules you need to follow once you’re registered:
Showing your customers the right VAT rate for them can get complicated. What’s standard rate in one country can be reduced in another. Plus some EU countries have more than one reduced rate. Download our EU and UK VAT Rates PDF and get all the rates for all 27 EU states (and we’ll update you if anything changes). If you’re not sure what rate you should be applying, you can always ask our VAT experts. They’ll do all the research for you.
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.

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 🙂
Worked with SimplyVat for about 2 years for their IOSS service (I've since stopped marketing to EU so am no longer a client currently). Honestly, flawless service. I never had to worry about their submissions because they were always on the ball.
We’ve been working with Simply VAT since end of 2023 supporting our IOSS compliance. We have found them very helpful and particularly Abhay on the data side who has gone above and beyond to resolve issues and ensure we hit payment deadlines. Really important with a service like this that you can get hold of someone when there is an issue and Abhay has always been quick to respond when needed. They have also provided some very thorough consultancy advice via Paulina. A good company to work with.
