When using OSS/IOSS reporting, to make it easier to process transactions and give you flexibility when you run reports, we recommend setting up separate tax codes for each different tax rate within each country.

EXAMPLE: If you trade with Germany, where they have three rates, Zero, Reduced and Standard, for both goods and services, you set up six different tax codes for use with Germany only.

This short video shows you how:
