Filing online VAT MOSS returns is a new approach to tax filing for many businesses so we’ll try to simplify the processes involved. Unfortunately, there is no EU standard VAT MOSS return as EU Member States all require separate technical and financial details.
Taxamo has prepared a step-by-step guide for our businesses to access their VAT MOSS settlement data. Having spent months speaking directly to European Union tax authorities this is the information required by each Member State.
We had envisaged a solution whereby our businesses simply downloaded their VAT MOSS report from their dashboard and uploaded it to their chosen MOSS country web portal. This is now not possible simply due to a lack of concrete information from EU tax authorities. We endeavour to provide our businesses with the best possible service and the data provided in our report download will satisfy all EU tax authorities. As more information becomes available we will streamline our reporting facility.
To access and download your transaction data for VAT MOSS settlement, please follow these 5 simple steps:
STEP 1: Log into your Taxamo account.
STEP 2: Select European Union under Tax settlement from the left navigation bar.
STEP 3: On the settlement page, confirm that you are viewing the current quarter and that the MOSS country is accurately set to the country where you will file your MOSS return.
STEP 4: Click Download CSV Report to export VAT settlement data.
You have additional downloads options such as downloading the CSV to include the report filters (parameters) in the screenshot above, or to download a generic settlement XML file for further processing.
STEP 5: Submit your VAT MOSS settlement file.
Submission requirements vary by MOSS country of registration. We have included country-by-country MOSS information in this blog post. Please check with your tax authority to confirm how you can upload your settlement data into the MOSS portal. You should also contact your MOSS registration country if you have any further questions in relation to the MOSS return.
Taxamo has made every effort to compile a comprehensive listing of VAT MOSS requirements by country. In some cases, this information has not yet been released and we will continuously add to this document.
If businesses do not see what they need on this list, they should consult their tax authorities with additional questions.
For more generic information check out the European Commission’s own guide here.
