I participate in the OSS procedure. Why do I need a VAT ID for the intra-community supply?

According to EU tax laws, if you receive goods from another EU country, you may need to declare the purchase and pay taxes in your country. You cannot do this through the OSS (One Stop Shop) procedure.

Instead, you need to check if you are required to register for VAT in your country and obtain a VAT ID (VAT identification number) to declare the purchase and pay the appropriate taxes. 

More details about VAT ID may be found via the link here.

If you are still not sure about what you need to do, we recommend consulting a tax advisor.
