Hey,

all this is now (as of January 2019) way easier if your EU sales are below €10,000 a year. In that case, you don't have to deal with VAT MOSS and you can simply charge your home country's VAT rate to all EU customers and declare it in your country. Also, you only need one piece of evidence. For more info see quaderno.io/blog/2019-vat-thr….

Moreover, Stripe Checkout can now handle it easily for you with dynamic tax ranges (stripe.com/docs/billing/subsc…). They will figure out where the customer is from and include the VAT in the invoice appropriately.

@yespizza I am planning to write an article showing how to become EU VAT compliant with Stripe Checkout so let me know if you are interested.

I recommend to read this guide to get a nice overview on the topic: www.chargebee.com/resources/g…

If you are below the threshold all this should be way easier, but as Marc says, it's always better to talk to a professional.

One more note: be sure to always show prices with VAT included.

Hope this helps!

(I am not a tax expert so please double check it.)

Hey @matheo,

thanks for the great feedback and advice! I made a new version taking into account your feedback. It really helped me.

  1. Agree. I changed it to "Try it now for free" and put it to the top right and below the headline.

  2. Why is that? Do you think it needs more spacing?

  3. The point of the demo is to see how the app looks like with real data. I find it more useful than just a screenshot or video. I got inspired by simpleanalytics.com and baremetrics.com that both have a live demo.

  4. I added a possibility to try out the app without having to sign up (thanks to @levelsio for the idea) so now the CTA is for the potential users to give it a try for free and without having to sign up.

  5. Yep, I think that security will be a big concern for many potential users (although they don't have to provide any credentials and the app does not have any access to your trading accounts). Unfortunately, I don't have any testimonials yet and it's difficult to give any safety guarantees besides saying I take data security seriously and follow the best practices (which I do). But at least I added a paragraph saying your data is safe.

  6. I updated the headline and added before/after section. Hopefully, it better expresses why I built it in the first place and who is it for. (I built it because my brokers' reporting sucks and I was really frustrated by trying to do it in a spreadsheet since the data is really difficult to get reliably.)

  7. Thanks, I am trying! ;)

Thanks again!
