SideHustleVAT: EU Tax Automation
Automatically calculates, tracks, and generates VAT returns for EU-based freelancers and micro-businesses earning under €85k annually.
The Problem
EU freelancers under the VAT threshold waste 5-10 hours monthly manually tracking cross-border transactions, VAT exemptions by country, and compliance rules that change quarterly. Existing tools (Xero, Wave) are overengineered and charge enterprise prices for simple threshold tracking.
Target Audience
EU-based solopreneurs and micro-businesses (1099 contractors, digital service providers) earning €20k-€85k annually who invoice across multiple EU countries.
Why Now?
EU VAT compliance is tightening (ViDA rules going live 2025), and remote work has exploded; freelancers are desperate for simple, affordable solutions but can't justify Xero's £30/month.
What's Missing
Existing tools assume VAT registration complexity; nobody builds for the *exemption* use case where the real pain is proving you're under the threshold to tax authorities and logging borderless invoices correctly.
