MOSS EU tax and Stripe

I don’t know of payment gateways that can deal with MOSS as it is a business level issue rather than a payment level issue.

In my view either have to manage it within your business or sell your digital products via a reseller. A reseller has to manage that tax relationship. This is why you will find that now many ( except the largest ) premium WordPress Themes and Plugins are sold via resellers.

I would suggest you research to see if there are suitable resellers for your products.

Thanks @fullworks, what do you mean by a reseller please? Is that a 3rd party website?

A reseller is some one that ‘buys’ your products and sells it to the end ‘consumers’.

Think of it as wholesale & retail.

The reseller is the contracting party with the end consumer and so has to comply with consumer tax rules.

You have a simple relationship between yourself and the reseller, it is simple because there is only one tax rules and it is also business to business.

The reseller keeps some of the sales price for their purposes ( the risk they take, the platform they provide etc )

Resellers are ‘platforms’ ( websites ) but you need to ensure they are taking the contract with the consumer rather than just a selling platform.

Thank you @fullworks that makes sense. I’m not sure it will work in my instance unfortunately because I have a paid newsletter people sign up to on my site. It doesn’t seem to make sense to host this elsewhere or run it through another company to handle payments because the numbers will be so low to start with (and possibly forever). I’m able to charge 99p (￡1 / $1 approx) per month.

Hmm, this is tricky. All I can think is to switch off all registrations from other countries but that doesn’t feel right. Or just deal with the tax but my accountant fees will cost to much to deal with tax on every single country in Europe.
