1. Preliminary remarks
The OSS (One-Stop-Shop) procedure is an EU-wide system to simplify VAT processing for businesses selling cross-border services or goods to end consumers in the EU. It was introduced on July 1, 2021 and allows businesses to report and pay VAT for all their EU-wide sales centrally via a single point of contact instead of having to register for VAT in each individual member state. Invoices will always show the German tax. However, if the delivery threshold is exceeded, all invoices must be adjusted to the country of use for tax purposes.
In some countries, there is a tax exemption for certain products. These can be (medical) journals, for example.
If you have any questions regarding this topic, consult your tax office.
