Vat % through Ukko Invoice

Post by Jeanpierre » Fri Jul 24, 2020 12:46 am

Hi!
I have an issue with the VAT%, I am a sourcing agent working as a freelancer, generally I invoice my clients for 6000€ a month + commission.

Everytime I send an invoice 24% is deducted and I feel that it's kinda unfair to lose 1500€ every month.
My work is more like a service and my clients all in EU.

Can you suggest me a better idea since I'm still kinda newbie in the field.

I appreciate all suggestions

So your commission is about 2k. The VAT isn't deducted, it is added on top of your invoice. Companies get to deduct VAT, you lose that option when using Ukko, afaik.

Business clients in other EU countries should be charged with the reverve charge VAT process. You charge without VAT and they deal with it in their countries.

At that income level an own business and the services of an accountant are usually cheaper.

Something is wrong with your invoices:
