Yes that is true. Those are two different things indeed:
- why Stripe is not popular
- how Subscriptions handles VAT (if there is issues… I don’t know, I just try follow what here is written
So I behaved badly. Sorry.
Yes, because practically all bankcards are debit/credit (by Visa) cards at same time. But when it is used payment goes thru a bank even with credit — it dictates only when money will be withdrawn and how. Safety mechanism, and it is coming from EU actually. In Nordic its adoption was easy, because it didn’t change anything. But that was one reason why Klarna was in troubles.
But that matters when we are speaking B2C. B2B is different world, and even there the situation is not same depending size of business.
But all the time VAT must be handled right. We can do what ever other things, but not fooling around with EU-VAT[1]
god damn VAT is a bit sensitive topic up here now because our government raised it to 25,5%; Hungary has higher VAT ↩︎
