Similarly to previous VAT changes, these affect merchants who sell across EU borders, as well as those who export goods into the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These changes are primarily targeted at simplifying the process, including the creation of a new filing method, One-Stop Shop (OSS) for those who sell in multiple EU countries. This guide provides an overview of the impact, with some basic information on updating your tax rates to comply with these changes.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>\n            What changes are relevant to EU-based merchants?    <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"checklist darkblue gb-list__check gb-list__check--blue wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Threshold rules end for distance sellers (EU-to-EU). <\/strong>Before July 1st, sellers had to register for VAT in each EU country when they reached a threshold, and these thresholds were country-specific. On July 1st, these thresholds will be withdrawn, simplifying transactions as sellers are required to charge VAT rate of the buyer\u2019s country of residence from the very first sale (unless micro-business threshold applies).&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-emph\">\n\n<p><strong><em>What does that mean?<\/em> <\/strong>For many merchants, this change is as simple as ensuring your Zones and Tax Rates are up-to-date for each EU country. Some merchants may not need to change anything at all, especially if they were already selling above-threshold.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"checklist darkblue gb-list__check gb-list__check--blue wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Micro-business EU-wide threshold.<\/strong> As of July 1, a new exemption will exist for micro-businesses established in one EU country with sales no greater than \u20ac10,000 in each of the last two years. Those who qualify for this exemption may continue to charge local VAT rates of their shipment origin country for all EU countries they ship to, and remit to local tax authorities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-emph\">\n\n<p><strong><em>What does that mean?<\/em> <\/strong>Merchants who qualify for this exemption may be able to group all EU countries into a single Zone, and configure Tax Rates based on their shipment country of origin. Some merchants may not need to change anything at all, especially if they were already selling below-threshold.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"checklist darkblue gb-list__check gb-list__check--blue wp-block-list\"><li><strong>One-Stop Shop (OSS) Filing.<\/strong> Before July 1st, merchants were required to hold a tax registration for each EU country in which they did business. On July 1st, merchants will now be able to file a single VAT return, known as an OSS filing, that covers multiple EU countries. Merchants may use OSS to file and remit VAT for any country they shop to, excluding their home country and domestic supply for countries in which they have physical location or hold stock. For those excluded countries, merchants should continue filing a local return, as before.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-emph\">\n\n<p><em><strong>What does that mean? <\/strong><\/em>OSS should simplify the tax filing and remittance process for many merchants, and there should be no direct impact on Zone or Tax Rate configuration (other than those above).<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>\n            What changes are relevant to merchants exporting goods to EU buyers?    <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"checklist darkblue gb-list__check gb-list__check--blue wp-block-list\"><li><strong>All orders shipped to the EU are now subject to VAT. <\/strong>Before July 1st, buyers purchasing and importing goods to the EU were exempt from paying VAT if their shipment had a total value below \u20ac22. On July 1st, buyers will be required to pay VAT on all such purchases up to a total value of \u20ac150, with the existing import VAT and duties applying above this threshold.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-emph\">\n\n<p><strong><em>What does that mean?<\/em> <\/strong>As the buyer is ultimately responsible for paying VAT and above-threshold import duties, a merchant may decide to simplify the process for the buyer by applying and collecting VAT on orders below \u20ac150. X-Cart\u2019s VAT\/GST application will be updated to support order value thresholds by July 1st, allowing merchants to optionally apply them by Zone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"checklist darkblue gb-list__check gb-list__check--blue wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) filing.<\/strong> Merchants exporting to EU countries who\u2019ve opted to collect VAT on orders below \u20ac150 should use the new Import OSS (IOSS) to file a single monthly VAT return for all below-threshold exports to the EU.
