E-commerce taxes on online sales will become easier!
Starting from July this year, e-shops will be able to conveniently declare and pay turnover tax for cross-border transactions through a single window. Therefore, the Tax and Customs Department (STD) invites e-shops engaged in remote sales of goods to take courses to familiarize themselves with the new system.
At the moment, e-shops that sell goods remotely must register as subject to turnover tax (taxable) and declare E-commerce taxes in each EU member state where the goods are sold to the end user, then from July 1, this can be done conveniently through a single window.
Namely, from July 1, amendments to the law resulting from the e-Commerce Directive will come into force, which are accompanied by the possibility to declare and pay turnover tax for cross-border transactions through a single window in the declaration system of the state where the taxable person is registered (that is, in the case of Estonia, through the NTD declaration system). Thus, the Estonian NTD collects turnover tax on behalf of all EU member States, and later distributes it among them, significantly reducing the administrative burden on e-shops.
In order to declare E-commerce turnover taxes through a single window, you must submit an application for registration as a special user (this option will appear on April 1). E-shops that sell goods to the end user within the European Union can register as special order users in the OSS (One Stop Shop). E-shops that sell goods to end consumers outside the European Union can register as special order users in IOSS (Import One Stop Shop).
The obligation to submit an OSS declaration is quarterly, and an IOSS declaration is monthly. Declarations must be submitted by the end of the month following the tax period. Using a special procedure is not an obligation, but an opportunity to make it easier to declare your turnover tax starting from July 1.
During the courses, we will learn how to register as a special user, as well as how to declare tax obligations through a single window. The course will not discuss changes in customs regulations resulting from the e-Commerce Directive; these topics will be introduced in April and May.
Zoom courses will take place on March 24 in Estonian and on March 30 in Russian; both courses will be recorded and available for re-viewing as well.
