Editor’s note: There is indeed a problem with EU countries not paying each other the VAT amounts reported under the OSS and iOSS scheme. This article gives solutions if you are using the (i)OSS scheme from Germany, but the same problem may arise in other countries. We hear also different interpretations from different authorities.
