What is Taxamo?

Taxamo is an end-to-end service which calculates the appropriate EU VAT rates based on your customer’s location and the products within their cart. Taxamo can capture up to 6 pieces of location evidence in a single transaction, all in real-time and all without interrupting the existing customer journey.

Taxamo creates EU MOSS settlement returns and audit-ready reports. Taxamo also offers 1-1 technical, multichannel support to anyone who uses the WooCommerce plugin.

What is VATMOSS?

VATMOSS is an EU VAT regulation, effective January 1st 2015. This new regulation requires that VAT for the sale of digital goods be charged based on the location of the customer (rather than the location of the online store) as well as factoring in different rates depending on the type of digital goods (for example, an eBook sold to someone in France has a different cost to a digital download sold to a customer in France).

The payments are made to a MOSS (mini-one-stop-shop) registered in the EU. This is then collected by the appropriate government department.
