polimorfico··on Ask HN: VAT and sales taxes for small SaaS
Hi there! I'm the founder of Quaderno. Managing EU VAT MOSS shouldn't be cost you so much money. In fact, VAT is a consumption tax and, therefore, it's paid by your customer. You business is just a mere collector of that tax. Quaderno can help you calculate taxes in real time based on your customer location, issue tax receipts automatically, generate a billing history for your customers, and generate the tax reports you'll need for your filings. Much cheaper than paying 15% of your income :) Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help!

polimorfico··on Ask HN: How do you deal with recurring payments?
Hi there! I'm Carlos, founder of Quaderno (https://quaderno.io). Thanks for the referral, Keats.

I built Quaderno two years ago because I was tired to deal with payments, invoicing, accounting, and tax rules (specially now when there are more and more digital taxes worldwide) in my past projects. My goal was to automate the whole accounting process for any SaaS.

Of course you can use your own billing system, but as Josh from Baremetrics say, "the danger in building internal tools is not that it saves an insignificant amount of cash, but that if stifles future cash" (Full article: https://baremetrics.com/blog/build-it-buy-it).

If you have any questions about Quaderno or how to manage payments for SaaS, please let me know. Happy to help.

polimorfico··on Show HN: Quaderno.io – Invoicing for Stripe
Good news! We've developed a new feature in Quaderno.io to automatically calculate the EU VAT after the payment was taken. And you do not have to use Stripe metadata! Hope you like it ;)

That's the next step we want to give: send a credit note every time you make a reverse charging.

The sample invoices are a very good idea :)

We send the invoices on your behalf. Your customers will see only you emails address, not ours.

As we're an European based company, we support the European Data Protection Directive. All your customer records are safe.

At this moment we don't have plan to develop a 'self-hosted' version. But we can considere it in the future.

Thanks for your feedback!! ;-)

polimorfico··on Show HN: Quaderno.io – Invoicing for Stripe
We have already fixed the issue #3. You're right: Stripe connection should be the first step.

Metadata are optional. You only have to use them if you need to add extra info, like VAT rates.

I see you include the VAT on the final amount. But there are some people who prefer to add the VAT to the final amount if needed. In your case, $60 for EU customers and $50 for non-EU customers. With the use of metadata, the user decides which logic he prefers.

Thanks for all your feedback! There are some really interesting and useful ideas. Hope to give you some good news soon ;-)
