Additional info: Simplified operations. An IOSS number (Import One-Stop Shop) helps Estonian e-commerce businesses simplify VAT reporting when selling low-value goods to EU customers. Instead of managing VAT registrations and declarations across multiple countries, IOSS allows you to report and pay VAT through a single monthly return in a single EU Member State. This reduces administrative workload, improves customer delivery experience, and helps avoid VAT issues such as double taxation or unexpected import charges. It is especially relevant for online stores shipping goods from outside the EU to EU consumers.
