As of July 1, 2021, the OSS scheme ("One Stop Shop") came into effect. This document contains information about the OSS scheme and how to configure it in Exact Online.

What is the One Stop Shop (OSS) scheme?
The OSS is a new electronic tax system that allows businesses to file their returns for products and services in one place instead of multiple places.
How to configure Exact Online for OSS
Make sure VAT codes and ledger accounts exist for the various EU countries. To do this, go to 'Master data > Tax > VAT codes' in the top left of Exact Online.
Add the VAT codes for the countries you ship to within the EU. Click on the Code or Description to open a VAT code and select an OSS country.
How to view the OSS report
To view the amounts and their corresponding VAT amounts, go to Financial > Tax > Reports > OSS report.
How does the integration handle OSS?
Many Combidesk integrations support the OSS scheme. You can configure this in the integration settings, under the step: "How do you want to handle VAT for orders to individuals in other EU countries (One Stop Shop, OSS)?"
When you set this option to "Use the One Stop Shop (OSS)", the integration automatically ensures that the correct VAT code is used based on the information from the source package.
For example:
If a Belgian VAT rate of 21% is applied in the source, the integration automatically looks up a VAT code in Exact Online with 21% and the OSS country Belgium (BE).
