OSS

Abbreviation for One-Stop Shop

In short and in plain language

The OSS is a scheme of the European Union for value added tax.

It is for sales to private buyers in other states of the Union.

Firms can report the tax due there together, in their own country.

Whether it suits a shop is usually a question for a tax adviser.
