When you'll be invoiced

Now that your registration is complete, we'll begin issuing invoices for your monthly subscription. Our invoices are charged on the 1st of each month, based on the work we do for the previous reporting period. For example, if you need to file March's VAT return in Austria, you'll see the charge on April 1st. This is because we finalise and submit the necessary work in April.

Your monthly subscription fees will be charged to your payment method through Stripe on the 1st of each month. After the payment is processed, you will automatically receive a receipt and a VAT invoice from Stripe.
