Taxes and VAT
Grouptizer is designed so the buyer always sees the final price at checkout — no surprises. Filing and paying taxes is still on you.
The price you set is VAT inclusive
Section titled “The price you set is VAT inclusive”When you create a price, the amount you type is the final price the buyer sees and pays. If an invoice is later issued from the Stripe portal, the VAT is extracted from that same amount — the total never changes.
This also applies if you later turn Stripe Tax on: your prices stay VAT inclusive and Stripe simply breaks out the tax portion from the same total.
What you see in Earnings is informational
Section titled “What you see in Earnings is informational”The Earnings screen shows what’s been collected through Grouptizer: gross, fees and net, aggregated by period and product. It isn’t a tax calculation and doesn’t replace your accounting.
For the VAT breakdown, issued invoices and the exact per-transaction detail, the source of truth is your payment provider’s dashboard (Stripe).
Stripe Tax (optional, recommended)
Section titled “Stripe Tax (optional, recommended)”Stripe has a service called Stripe Tax that automatically calculates VAT on each sale based on the buyer’s country, records it, and gives you filing reports.
- If you turn it on in your Stripe account, Grouptizer detects it on each checkout and from that point on sales run with automatic tax calculation. You don’t have to touch anything in Grouptizer.
- If you don’t turn it on, payments still work normally; you just won’t get the automatic tax breakdown and you’ll need to reconcile by hand.
Stripe Tax has a per-transaction fee (see their site for details). For most creators selling internationally it’s worth it.
Your responsibility
Section titled “Your responsibility”Grouptizer isn’t your accountant or tax advisor. VAT, income tax and any other tax that applies to your activity are filed and paid by you. When in doubt, talk to an advisor.
