What is the One Stop Shop (OSS) regulation?
The OSS regulation is a new electronic tax system that allows businesses to submit their VAT returns for products and services in one central location, rather than in each individual EU country.
If you, as an entrepreneur, generate more than €10,000 in revenue from private customers within the EU (outside the Netherlands), you can use this scheme to handle your VAT returns centrally. See here for more information.

Click on “Toevoegen” (Add) to create a new general ledger account.
Choose a number within the 1600 range, and give it a name such as:
“VAT Belgium (OSS)”Set the category to Balance.
Save the general ledger account.
Configuring the OSS Scheme in the Integration
If you're using a Combidesk integration and work with the OSS scheme, you’ll need to configure this correctly within the integration settings. Follow the steps below to set it up:
Go to the integration and edit the settings.
Click on "Edit configuration" to adjust the settings.
Navigate to the step "How do you want to handle VAT for deliveries to private customers in other EU countries (One-Stop Shop, OSS)?" and select "Use the 'Unieregeling' (OSS)".
The step "Specific EU VAT ledger accounts" will now become visible. Select the previously created VAT accounts per country.
Link the VAT accounts to the correct countries. For example: link Belgium to account 1640 – VAT Belgium (OSS). Repeat this step for each EU country you sell to.
