Austria (AT)
VAT
Austrian coaches need an Austrian VAT number.
For customers in other EU countries (B2C), VAT must be handled through the EU OSS system.
For B2B customers in the EU with a valid VAT ID, reverse charge may apply.
Invoices
Invoices issued via Yumi42 apply the correct VAT rate based on the customer’s location and type.
Income tax / social security
Declare your Yumi42 earnings as business income according to Austrian law.
Germany (DE)
VAT
A German VAT number is required.
For EU cross-border B2C customers, VAT is typically handled through OSS.
For B2B customers in the EU (with a valid VAT ID), invoices can apply reverse charge.
Invoices
Invoices generated by Yumi42 follow German rules and apply the appropriate VAT rate.
Income tax
Declare your Yumi42 revenue as business income in Germany.
Other EU countries
If you are based in an EU member state other than Austria or Germany, the general rules are similar:
you must have a valid VAT number
you charge domestic VAT for local customers
you normally use OSS for EU cross-border B2C customers
reverse charge applies for EU B2B customers with a valid VAT ID
you declare your Yumi42 income as business income in your country
Yumi42 invoices automatically use your VAT details and apply the correct VAT rate based on the customer’s location.
Switzerland (CH)
Swiss coaches can join Yumi42.
However, Switzerland is outside the EU VAT system, so additional steps may be required if you serve EU customers.

You may need to:
hold a Swiss VAT number
comply with EU VAT rules for EU customers
register for the non-Union OSS scheme if you coach EU-based individuals (B2C)
provide confirmation of VAT compliance upon request

Yumi42 may request:
proof of Swiss VAT registration
a signed declaration confirming your responsibility for VAT compliance

Important reminder
Regardless of your country:
