How to read this output This calculator provides high-level guidance based on standard business models. Where you operate multiple fulfilment locations, complex supply chains (including call-off stock, triangulation, consignment stock), or sell regulated categories (medical devices, food supplements, chemicals), a tailored review with a senior advisor is required. Outputs are not legal or tax advice and should not be relied on without qualified professional review.
Step 1 of 5

Tell us about your business

We need a few baseline details to scope the compliance footprint. Three quick questions.

Step 2 of 5

Where are you selling?

Select every country you ship to or list products into, regardless of volume. Include the UK if you have UK customers.

Selected: none yet
Step 3 of 5

Where are goods stored?

Stock-holding triggers a local VAT registration in every country. Include Amazon FBA hubs, third-party logistics warehouses, consignment stock locations. If you ship every order from outside the EU with no in-EU storage, select "Merchant Fulfilled only".

Selected: none yet
Step 4 of 5

Where are goods shipped from?

The origin of physical fulfilment. Shipping from outside the EU triggers customs clearance and possibly IOSS. Shipping from within the EU and crossing borders triggers OSS rules.

Step 5 of 5

Product categories

Select every category that applies to your catalogue. EPR obligations (packaging, WEEE, batteries) depend on what you sell. Packaging EPR applies to virtually any physical product because the outer packaging is regulated even if the product itself isn't.

Looking ahead. The VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) package – adopted 11 March 2025, published in OJEU 25 March 2025, in force 14 April 2025 – progressively changes parts of this picture between 2027 and 2035. From 1 January 2027, OSS/IOSS clarifications apply. From 1 July 2028, Pillar 3 (Single VAT Registration) extends OSS scope to cover more transactions, reducing the need for multi-country local VAT registrations. The roadmap above reflects rules in force on the verification date; we will refresh the calculator as each ViDA milestone takes effect.
