Tax exemption for EU businesses
To all payments made to dashed-slug, a 24% tax is applied.
If you are a business situated within the European Union, you are entitled to tax exemption. If you wish to benefit from tax exemption:
- Cancel your current recurring payment on PayPal.
- Become a member with one of the new tax-exempt plans, available here.
- Make sure to enter all your business details in your profile section. These must include your full name, name of company, address, and VAT IN.
Once the details are entered, you will receive invoices, rather than receipts in your email for every payment.
If you are not a business situated in the EU, this does not apply to you.
Please contact me if you have any questions about this.
Thank you!
Alex
You’re basically cutting off the premium membership sign-up option as of 16Oct2018, is that correct? If yes, what is the motivation? Capacity full? Or regulatory issues? Please share.
Capacity… There’s no regulatory issues about offering an online software service. Still, if you are interested in that plan, you can sign up for it before the 16th and you can keep it indefinitely.
Hi, am I misunderstanding or are you going to charge VAT to people outside the EU?
I am already charging VAT, it would be illegal not to. If you are outside of the EU, nothing changes for you. If you are a registered business within the EU, you now have a new option to avoid paying that tax, and therefore pay less than before, as long as you register your business details.
Just to be clear, Alex et al, you ae doing a fantastic job.
Thank you so much! Btw, a number of new things are in my immediate plans. These currently include: a full node Monero adapter, a replacement to the ShapeShift extension, and a number of requested improvements to the Fiat adapter, Exchange extension, Faucet and Author Payroll extension. There will be blog announcements about these developments. (There is no “et al”, it’s a very small team, see https://www.dashed-slug.net/dashed-slug/team/ )
Literally an awe-inspiring outlook. From our perspective the Monero adapter and any augmentations to the Fiat adapter are the most anticipated, especially the Monero adapter. Ppl repect the level of optional privacy this platform enables. Tx for the harbinger. Really appreciated.
Q: for the monthly premium subscription, will this be an auto-renewal with automatic deduction from my credit card? That would be preferable. Tx for your advice.
Yes, that is how it works.
