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

SettingWhat it doesTurn 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 styleRegistered showsExempt showsExamples
One numberYour tax numberThe same number staysPL (NIP), ES (NIF), IT (Partita IVA), BE, PT, RO, HU…
Two numbersVAT number + company numberCompany number onlyNL (BTW-id + KVK), DE (USt-IdNr + Steuernummer), FR (N° TVA + SIREN), AT, SE, CZ…
UK specialVAT No. + Company No. (CRN)CRN only (Ltd/LLP); sole traders show nothingGB — UK law requires the CRN on limited-company invoices regardless of VAT status
Registered-onlyYour VAT numberNothing — no number is printedIE — exempt Irish sellers have no separate company-number requirement

Consumers (B2C) — section 3

SettingWhat it doesTurn 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 numberUnlocks 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

SettingWhat it doesTurn 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 B2BComes automatically with your UK VAT registration above — no separate toggle.
GB sellersEU 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

ElementWhat it shows
ThresholdsThe 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.
RevenueYour gross / VAT / net and refunds per currency, this year and lifetime. Appears once you have sales.
What happens at checkoutA live row-per-buyer preview of your current (even unsaved) settings — green 0%, blue charged, red blocked. Check it before every save.
Per-app reachRead-only list of your apps with their audience and reach; each links to its own Sales setup.

Managing Stripe accounts — the tabs on top

ControlWhat it does
Account tabsOne 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.
