Tax Setup

Onelo charges the correct VAT on every sale and adds the right details to every invoice — so you can sell across the EU and the UK without becoming a tax expert. You tell Onelo a few plain facts about your business; Onelo handles the rest at checkout. You set it up once and every app on the same Stripe account follows it.

Sell both ways. Based in the EU? Reach all 27 EU countries and the UK. Based in the UK? Reach the UK and all of the EU. Onelo works out the right VAT for each buyer — at home, abroad, consumer or business.

How it works

Tax Setup asks three simple questions. Your answers do double duty: they are the inputs the free Onelo Tax engine computes every sale's VAT from — and they tell Onelo where to block a sale you aren't registered for yet, instead of charging the wrong amount.

Where is your business?

Taken automatically from your Stripe account — this sets your home country and its VAT rate.

Do you charge VAT?

Yes (you're VAT-registered) or no (you're a small business under an exemption). One tap.

Where do you want to sell?

Your country is always on. Add EU consumers, EU businesses, and the UK as you grow — each is a single toggle with a clear effect.

You declare facts, not tax outcomes. Onelo never invents a registration you don't have. If a sale would need one you haven't set up, Onelo blocks it instead of charging the wrong amount — so you can't accidentally break the rules.

What you can sell, and to whom

Coverage today is sellers based in the EU 27 or the UK, selling to both:

You are based in…	You can sell to	Consumers (B2C)	Businesses (B2B)
The EU	Your country, the whole EU, and the UK	✅	✅ reverse charge
The UK	The UK and the whole EU	✅	✅ reverse charge

Each destination has its own simple rule — and Onelo applies it for you. The Where you can sell page walks through every case and what the buyer pays.

Worked scenarios

Real configurations, end to end — settings, screenshots, and exactly what each buyer pays:

Small business, VAT-exempt→

You don't charge VAT (KOR / §19 / art. 113). Home sales + a few EU customers under €10k.

Selling at home + early EU sales→

VAT-registered, first EU customers, still under €10k — nothing to register yet.

Selling across the whole EU (OSS)→

Past €10k and going EU-wide — one OSS registration, buyer-country VAT, no cap.

Cross-border as a small business (EX)→

Stay exempt and sell 0% to the countries you declare, up to €100k EU-wide.

Selling to businesses (B2B)→

0% reverse charge to EU companies — the VAT-EU toggle, live number checks, B2B invoices.

Selling to the UK→

One HMRC registration unlocks UK consumers (20%) and UK business buyers — independent of your EU path.

Based in the UK, selling to the EU→

The reverse direction — £90k tracker at home, Non-Union OSS for EU consumers, automatic EU B2B.

The VAT engine and the invoice provider (Stripe, Fakturownia, and others) are chosen on the Tax & Invoicing page. Tax Setup is about who you sell to and what VAT applies; Tax & Invoicing is about how invoices get issued.
