Expandly VAT - Filing Questions once Registration is complete

Expandly VAT - Filing Questions once Registration is complete

Overview

Once your VAT registration is complete, there are a number of questions that our VAT Partner will need to know the answers to, once the filing is ready to be taken over. 
As a proactive measure, we will ask for answers to these questions at on-boarding stage and whilst we are dealing with the VAT Registration as this will allow us to provide all the required information to our VAT partner during this stage, and will avoid delays in waiting for the information to be provided once the registration is complete, and the filing is ready to be taken over.

VAT filing questions

Please see below, a list of questions that we will need to obtain answers on. 

Ø Does this company use the OSS scheme, Y or N

  1. OSS ( One-Stop Shop) is a EU VAT scheme that simplifies VAT obligations for sellers of goods and services to consumers throughout the European Union. In practice, a taxable person who is registered for an OSS scheme in a Member State (the Member State of identification) will electronically submit OSS VAT returns detailing the supplies that can be declared in the respective OSS scheme along with the VAT due. The OSS VAT returns are additional and do not replace the VAT return a taxable person submits to his Member State under his domestic VAT obligations.
