EU OSS Tax Audit Report

The EU Commission defines the process of auditing. According to the law, all transactions carried out under the One-Stop-Shop scheme must be made electronically available upon request to the Member State of identification or any Member State of consumption.

In EU OSS Tax Audit Report, you can create a run that extracts all your company’s transactions with a given auditing country that has reported OSS (One-Stop-Shop scheme) Tax Return. This in turn generates the corresponding XML file required by legal authority.
