What’s VAT?

VAT stands for Value Added Tax. It is a kind of tax that is levied on goods and services while selling and purchasing process. However, VAT is also called GST in Australia (GST-stands for Goods and Services Tax). Nearly all types of goods and services come under VAT.

What is MOSS?

If you want to be eligible for MOSS, your digital services must meet the requirements. According to E.U. law for MOSS, a business should be operational in sectors, such as- telecommunication, e-services or broadcasting and irrespective to other business must be supplied directly to consumers. For example, a business that sells-
  1. Hosting services
  2. Delivery of services related to websites (E.G. CMS Systems, Website Creators, Ready Templates)
  3. Downloading and updating computer programs
  4. Subscriptions to electronic magazines and paid contents
  5. Music, Digital Gambling, Films, and Games,
  6. Political, Entertainment, Cultural, Scientific, and Sports Broadcasts transmitted electronically
  7. E-Learning and other services, like Internet Courses, E-Books and Webinars, etc. are eligible to reap the benefits of MOSS.
