As a coach on Yumi42, you are an independent service provider. Yumi42 handles the invoicing mechanics on your behalf, but you remain responsible for your own tax compliance in your country of registration.
VAT registration status
Yumi42 supports both VAT-registered coaches and VAT-exempt coaches. Your status is set during onboarding and determines how your invoices are issued.
VAT-registered coaches — your sessions are invoiced with your applicable VAT rate (e.g. 20% for Austria, 19% for Germany, 8.1% for Switzerland, etc.). This rate applies to all your customers regardless of their location, in line with EU VAT rules for B2C services.
VAT-exempt coaches — if you qualify for the small business VAT exemption in your country, your sessions are invoiced at 0% VAT. Yumi42 fully supports this status. Select "VAT-exempt" during onboarding and reconfirm annually.
Documents generated for your activity
Three types of documents are generated in connection with your activity on Yumi42:
Service Invoice (SI) — issued to your customer at the time of each booking. This document is issued in your name: you are the supplier of the coaching service. Yumi42 issues it on your behalf as the facilitating platform, but the supply relationship is between you and your customer.
Commission Invoice (CI) — Yumi42's invoice to you, issued on the 3rd of each month. It covers Yumi42's commission on all sessions delivered that month.
Coach Payout Statement (CPS) — also issued on the 3rd, alongside the CI. It summarises your sessions, the commission deducted and your net payout for the month.
For Signature Journeys, two CIs and two CPSs are issued, one at each 50/50 payout milestone.
Document numbering
All documents follow the format TYPE-COACH-YEAR-NNNN (e.g. SI-ABCD-2026-0042). Numbers reset every 1 January.
How documents are delivered
Documents are sent to you by email. Download from your coach dashboard is being developed and will be available soon.
Your responsibility
Yumi42 issues documents based on the information you provide during onboarding and in your Stripe account. You are responsible for ensuring that information is accurate and for correctly declaring your income. If your VAT status changes, update both your Yumi42 profile and your Stripe account, and notify us via chat.
