Who is the supplier of the service?
The coach.
You provide the service directly to the customer.
Yumi42 acts only as:
the intermediary connecting you with customers
the billing tool issuing invoices automatically
the payment processor collecting customer payments and sending payouts
Yumi42 is not the provider of coaching services and does not replace your tax or accounting obligations.
This distinction is important for VAT, legal responsibilities and your own reporting.
VAT number required
To activate a coach profile on the platform, you must provide a valid VAT number from your country of establishment.
We currently do not support VAT-exempt coaches.
If your status changes, you must update your details immediately.
For Swiss-based coaches, we may request additional VAT documentation (see below).
Customer invoices (Coach → Customer)
Customer invoices are automatically generated at the time of payment.
They include:
your legal name or company name
your business address
your VAT number
the session or package purchased
the applicable VAT rate based on customer location and customer type
required legal notes
The invoice clearly states that you are the service provider.
Invoice numbering
Invoice numbers are generated automatically by the system and may not match your internal numbering.
This is normal. You simply include them in your accounting like any other sales invoice.
Commission invoice (Yumi42 → Coach)
For each paid session, Yumi42 charges a commission.
You will receive a commission invoice from Yumi42:
with Austrian VAT if you are based in Austria
without VAT (reverse charge) if you are based outside Austria
You should record this invoice as a business expense in your bookkeeping.
Your tax responsibilities
Even though invoices are generated automatically, you remain responsible for:
declaring your income
applying the correct VAT rules in your jurisdiction
registering for OSS if required (for EU cross-border B2C customers)
keeping invoices and payout statements for your accounting
complying with all local tax obligations
Yumi42 does not provide tax or legal advice.
Swiss coaches
Coaches based in Switzerland can join the platform.
However, if you provide services to EU customers, you may need to comply with EU VAT rules.
We may request:
proof of Swiss VAT registration
confirmation of how you handle VAT for EU customers
a signed declaration confirming you are responsible for VAT compliance
Depending on your customer base, registration for the non-Union OSS scheme may be required.
Your accountant or tax advisor can guide you.
What you need to update
Please ensure the following information is always correct in your profile and in Stripe:
VAT number
legal name
address
billing details
tax status
bank account
Incorrect or outdated information may lead to delayed payouts or incorrect invoices.
