About this tool
Illustrative operational estimate only. Compares without OSS/IOSS, with OSS/IOSS, and a simplified ViDA future-state under your assumptions — not a tax liability calculator.

Supporting notes
Illustrative operational estimate
Figures for registrations, filings, hours, and admin cost are operational estimates under your assumptions. They are not tax advice and not a tax liability figure.
OSS/IOSS simplification comparison
The without / with OSS-IOSS / ViDA future-state scenarios help compare administrative footprint. Stock countries and platform share still influence local registration assumptions.
Limitations
This simulator does not price VAT rates, reclaimability, penalties, or Member State-specific filing calendars. Confirm real obligations with advisers.
FAQ
Does this calculate VAT I owe?
No. It estimates operational burden only.
Why compare three scenarios?
To illustrate how OSS/IOSS usage and a simplified ViDA future-state can change registration and filing load under the same inputs.
What if I enter zeros?
The tool returns insufficient information until you provide a country, stock, invoice, or registration footprint.
