Tax Setup / Your options at a glance
Your options at a glance
Every setting on the Tax Setup page (and its two per-app companions), in one reference: what it does, when to turn it on, and what changes for your buyers. For step-by-step journeys, use the worked scenarios.
Your business — section 2
| Setting | What it does | Turn it on when… |
|---|---|---|
| Are you VAT-registered? — “Yes — I charge VAT” | You collect VAT on home sales; your VAT number goes on invoices. | You're registered with your tax authority. |
| “No — I'm exempt” | Home and under-€10k EU sales go out at 0% with your country's legal exemption clause added to every invoice automatically. OSS and Net pricing become unavailable (they require VAT registration). | You're under your country's small-business exemption (KOR, §19, art. 113, franchise…). |
| Seller number field(s) | The number(s) printed on your invoices. The labels adapt to your country — see the table below. | Always — fill in whatever fields your country shows. |
Which numbers appear, by country:
| Country style | Registered shows | Exempt shows | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| One number | Your tax number | The same number stays | PL (NIP), ES (NIF), IT (Partita IVA), BE, PT, RO, HU… |
| Two numbers | VAT number + company number | Company number only | NL (BTW-id + KVK), DE (USt-IdNr + Steuernummer), FR (N° TVA + SIREN), AT, SE, CZ… |
| UK special | VAT No. + Company No. (CRN) | CRN only (Ltd/LLP); sole traders show nothing | GB — UK law requires the CRN on limited-company invoices regardless of VAT status |
| Registered-only | Your VAT number | Nothing — no number is printed | IE — exempt Irish sellers have no separate company-number requirement |
Consumers (B2C) — section 3
| Setting | What it does | Turn it on when… |
|---|---|---|
| “Selling only up to €10k” | No registrations needed. Cross-border EU consumers pay your home rate (or 0% if exempt) until the EU-wide €10k/year cap. | You're starting out — the default path. |
| “Block sales once you hit €10k” | Onelo refuses further cross-border consumer sales at the cap, so you can't accidentally sell where you're not registered. Unchecking means you take responsibility. | Recommended: always, until you pick OSS or EX. |
| “OSS — charge the buyer-country VAT” | Every EU consumer pays their own country's VAT, from the first sale, no cap. You file one quarterly OSS return at home. | You're VAT-registered and crossing €10k (or going EU-wide from day one). |
| “EX — 0% to declared countries” | The EU small-business cross-border scheme: 0% to the countries you declared, up to €100k EU-wide turnover. Needs your EX identifier + the declared-country list. Not available to GB or ES sellers. | You're small (often exempt) and sell to a few specific countries. |
| “Block sales once you hit €100k” | Stops cross-border consumer sales at the EX ceiling — past it, a 0% invoice would be illegal. Home sales keep working. | Recommended: always, while on EX. |
| “I am registered for UK VAT (HMRC)” + UK VAT number | Unlocks the UK: consumers pay 20% UK VAT from the first sale; UK companies get reverse charge. Fully independent of the EU path. | You registered with HMRC. (No grace period for non-UK sellers.) |
UK-based sellers see a different section 3: your home VAT status (from section 2) covers the UK, and a single “I am registered for Non-Union OSS” checkbox unlocks EU consumers — from the first sale, no €10k buffer. Details in Based in the UK, selling to the EU.
Businesses (B2B) — section 3
| Setting | What it does | Turn it on when… |
|---|---|---|
| “VAT-EU number (intra-community / VIES)” | EU companies with a valid VAT number buy at 0% (reverse charge); their number is checked live and printed on the invoice. Works for exempt sellers too. | You hold your own VAT-EU number and want business customers. |
| UK B2B | Comes automatically with your UK VAT registration above — no separate toggle. | — |
| GB sellers | EU B2B reverse charge is automatic (the buyer's number is what counts) — you'll see a note instead of a toggle. | — |
Trackers & previews — sections 1 and 4
| Element | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Thresholds | The one cap that applies to your chosen path — €10k (no scheme), €100k (EX), £90k rolling 12 months (UK sellers), or “no cap” (OSS) — counted across every app on the Stripe account, from sales made through Onelo. Email alerts fire at 80% and 100% for the €10k and €100k caps; the £90k bar is display-only. |
| Revenue | Your gross / VAT / net and refunds per currency, this year and lifetime. Appears once you have sales. |
| What happens at checkout | A live row-per-buyer preview of your current (even unsaved) settings — green 0%, blue charged, red blocked. Check it before every save. |
| Per-app reach | Read-only list of your apps with their audience and reach; each links to its own Sales setup. |
Managing Stripe accounts — the tabs on top
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Account tabs | One tab per Stripe account = one business with its own tax profile and its own threshold counters. Run several businesses from one Onelo team. |
| “+ Add Stripe account” | Adds a further business (the first account is connected from an app's Stripe tab). Pick the business country, click Connect Stripe, finish Stripe's onboarding. You're brought back automatically. |
| “• setup” badge / “Finish setup” | Stripe onboarding isn't complete — the account can't take payments yet. The button resumes exactly where you left off. |
| “Remove this Stripe account from Onelo” | A soft disconnect (with confirmation): only the Onelo link is removed — your Stripe account and all its data stay on Stripe, and you can reconnect later. |
