Sell digital products worldwide with each country's VAT sorted
Courses, SaaS, apps, ebooks and subscriptions: digital services VAT registration in the customer's country, OSS in the EU and returns reconciled with Stripe, PayPal and Shopify.
In short
If you sell digital products or services to consumers, VAT is due in the customer's country. In the EU it is handled through OSS from Spain; outside, through registration for digital services VAT in the relevant country and its returns. More than 80 countries covered.
Info-product creators, SaaS, apps, subscriptions, courses: we tell you where you have obligations, and the registration and every return, reconciled with your Stripe, PayPal or Shopify receipts, are included.
How it works
| Customer | Where VAT is due | How it is declared |
|---|---|---|
| Consumer in Spain | Spain | On your usual Form 303 |
| Consumer in another EU country | Their country, at its rate | OSS, one quarterly return from Spain |
| Consumer in the UK, Norway, Switzerland… | Their country | Registration for its digital services VAT and periodic returns |
| Consumer in Australia, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, the Gulf… | Their country, above its threshold | Registration as a foreign vendor and returns |
| Business in another country | Normally their country, under the reverse charge | Invoice without VAT quoting their tax number; Form 349 in the EU |

It affects you if
- You sell courses, memberships, software, apps, ebooks or content to consumers in other countries.
- You get paid through Stripe, PayPal, Shopify or your own gateway, not only through platforms that declare on your behalf.
- You exceed the thresholds of a country outside the EU, or the €10,000 distance-selling threshold within the EU.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I pay VAT if I sell an online course to a customer in another country?
Where the customer is, if they are a consumer. Within the EU you declare it through OSS from Spain; outside the EU, many countries require you to register for their digital services VAT from the first sale or from a threshold.
What counts as a digital service?
Downloadable or streamed courses and content, software and applications, subscriptions, ebooks, music, games, web hosting and, in general, anything supplied over the internet without human intervention.
In how many countries is registration available?
In more than 80. In some only the digital services regime exists; in others, the same registration also covers goods. We tell you which applies to you.
What if I sell through a platform (App Store, Udemy, Gumroad…)?
In many countries the platform is responsible for the VAT. Each channel is reviewed: what you sell directly on your own website you do declare yourself.
