Tax and international sales
Workspace determines the tax for basket, quotation and order, for private and business customers alike. Customs and origin data are attached to the product variant, export evidence to the shipment. At the end of a reporting period, you hand your tax adviser checked records.
What Workspace handles for you
Business purchases with a verified number
You verify the VAT ID directly on the company or in the quotation. Only a valid verification result leads to treatment without VAT.
OSS and IOSS per company
Each scheme applies to a specific legal entity and its sales scope. If a registration does not fit, Workspace puts the case on hold.
Evidence on the shipment
For each export shipment, you see which proof of export is still missing and when it is due.
From basket to tax return
Together with your tax adviser, we set up legal entities, registrations, tax rates and posting assignments.
In the shop, the quotation and the order, Workspace determines the tax and stores this status on the document.
Before shipping, Workspace checks the variant’s customs classification, origin and market decision for the destination country.
Your team adds missing proof of export to the shipment. You then pass the reporting period to your tax adviser as CSV or JSON.
What you can rely on
Existing orders keep their verification and tax status. A later check on the company does not silently reassess them.
Workspace shows direct deliveries of goods from Germany to a third country as tax-exempt export deliveries once you have activated this treatment with your approval.
Workspace only selects IOSS for confirmed import consignments of up to EUR 150 when registration, origin and country of destination match.
Customs classification, origin, supplier’s declaration and market decision only apply after a completed review. Every correction creates a new version.
On shipping, Workspace stores which customs and origin data applied to the destination country. Later changes to the file leave this evidence untouched.
If transport or export evidence is missing, the export of the reporting period remains blocked. A closed period no longer accepts later entries.
Returns well prepared
Every final invoice produces a fixed tax entry. Workspace assigns it to the reporting obligations, such as the VAT return, the EC Sales List or OSS. Your team prepares OSS returns quarterly and IOSS returns monthly, including nil returns and corrections.
A second person approves every prepared OSS return. Workspace generates the records for your tax adviser and records when the return was submitted. You or your tax adviser handle the submission itself.
