Customs & EU OSS

If you sell to France, Spain or Switzerland, accounting turns into a tax maze very quickly. Omneya guides you through it: filed quarterly, thresholds monitored, customs documents generated.

EU OSS at the push of a button

Since 2021, the One-Stop-Shop return (OSS) has replaced national tax registrations for B2C shipping within the EU. Omneya tracks every cross-border delivery with delivery country, tax rate and net amount. Every quarter, Omneya generates the OSS return in the official XML format. You upload it in the BZSt portal or hand it to your tax adviser. No manual gathering in Excel, no transcription errors.

Thresholds per country in view

Above certain turnover figures per country, special rules apply, such as national VAT registration or changed OSS obligations. Omneya knows the thresholds for each EU country and warns you when you get close. A dashboard shows the annual turnover per country and how far you still are from the next threshold. You are never caught out by a tax obligation you did not see coming.

Customs tariff numbers per article

For each article you store the HS code (Harmonised System number), the international classification used in customs clearance. Omneya helps you search and validate the codes (linked to the EU TARIC directory). On shipments outside the EU, the HS codes flow into the customs documents automatically. On bulk imports from supplier catalogues, HS codes are loaded along with the rest.

Non-EU shipping with customs papers

Shipping to Switzerland, Norway, the UK or the USA? Omneya generates the customs documents you need: CN22, CN23, commercial invoice, declaration of origin, EORI number. With integrated carriers (DHL, DPD), the customs data is transmitted electronically, and all you print is the shipping label. Delays at customs because of incomplete papers are a thing of the past.

Country of origin for preferential agreements

On deliveries to countries with an EU preferential agreement (Switzerland, or the UK after Brexit), goods of EU origin receive customs benefits, provided you can prove the origin. Omneya keeps the country of origin per article and generates the required declarations of origin automatically. Supplier declarations are stored and renewed before they expire. Omneya reminds you in good time.

Tax calculation per delivery country

For each delivery country, Omneya determines the correct tax rate per article, based on the tax class (standard, reduced, exempt) and the delivery country. Special cases are covered: digital products (tax rate follows the buyer's location), B2B reverse charge (exemption with a valid VAT ID) and the small business scheme. VAT ID validation runs live against the EU VIES system.

Reverse charge for B2B

On B2B deliveries to other EU countries with a valid VAT ID, the reverse charge procedure applies: you invoice without tax, the recipient pays it in their own country. Omneya checks the VAT ID when the customer is created and on every order, generates the correct invoice wording ("reverse charge") and reports the transactions in the EC Sales List to the tax office.
