Hi freelancers,
I’m automating my website and want to find a payment system that can support me with that. Now I’ve heard great reviews about Mollie payments, but the problem is, it doesn’t automatically tax the 19% VAT.
It only offers to
\- Shifted VAT: Do not apply VAT to my invoices. I will handle VAT declaration with my local tax authority
\- Dutch VAT: Apply 21% Dutch VAT to my invoices (e.g. for small business schemes)
Do you know a similar provider (not [stripe.com](https://stripe.com)) that also offers services like this one and automatically includes the 19%? Or, if you work with Mollie, can you share your experience on how you manage it with VAT? Very curious to hear your thoughts / experiences, and I’m in need for automation!!
Thank you so much from one freelancer to another one!

Hi! Just quickly some things which stand out about your post. Are you registered for ZM? What’s your financial setup with the finanzamt.
You only charge 19% VAT to your German clients. You report this VAT monthly, and you then owe this money to the Finanzamt. This has to be done before the 10th day of each month.
You don’t charge Dutch VAT to Dutch clients. That is not right. You need to do this reverse-charge 0% and then the separate ZM declaration.
If you are working in The Netherlands, then you are responsible for Dutch VAT, and would reverse charge to your German clients. Check this out…this applies to all of Europe.
About automation. There are various apps available, but I would suggest getting some advice from a Steuerberater. They are affordable and will save you a lot of time and be able to do all of your reporting correctly.
