EU-wide filing of OSS return

If you have booked the OSS Add-On with us, you can download your quarterly OSS report in the dashboard under Compliance > VAT - Filings > European Union. Generally, the OSS file is provided with the transaction file around April 10th (Quarter 1), August 10th (Quarter 2), November 10th (Quarter 3), and January 10th (Quarter 4).

Below, we explain what the files look like and how you need to proceed with these files. This depends on which country you are registered in for OSS.

You are registered for OSS in Germany:

All information on submitting the OSS report from Taxdoo can be found in our article How do I submit the OSS report from Taxdoo in Germany? 

You are registered for OSS in Austria:

You will find an XML file in your dashboard under Compliance > VAT - Filings > European Union, which contains your OSS-relevant sales. Download this file and upload it to the portal of the Austrian tax authorities, where you also registered for OSS (https://finanzonline.bmf.gv.at/fon/).

You are registered for OSS in countries other than Germany and Austria:

You will find an Excel file in your dashboard under Compliance > VAT - Filings > European Union, which contains your OSS-relevant sales. This Excel file contains the following worksheets:

• Shipment from your country of establishment: This worksheet lists all cross-border B2C deliveries (distance sales) that you have made from your country of establishment.
• Shipment from other EU countries: This worksheet lists all cross-border B2C deliveries (distance sales) that you have made from other EU countries, excluding your country of establishment.
• Corrections: This worksheet shows corrections for previous reporting periods.

You can use the Excel file described above to transfer the data required for your OSS report to the online portal of the responsible local authority.
