How the DGT's position has evolved
Current position
Sales to final consumers in the EU are governed by the distance selling regime, taxing in the Member State of destination if quantitative limits are exceeded. For imports from third countries, if the value is below 150 euros, the platform may act as a deemed supplier through the Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) special scheme. If the value exceeds 150 euros, the customer is the taxable person for the import.
