So Chargebee allows you to configure VAT rates and whether to include VAT in the prices or add it to the invoice amount. However that's just for the collection so you still need to file and pay the VAT yourself.

I am still in the beginning, so at the moment I just charge the Finnish VAT regardless of the country the customer is based in (I live in Finland) and pay that VAT to Finland only.

Once I reach 10K in yearly EU sales I am supposed to either register an office in each country where I do business to file and pay taxes there, which is crazy at a tiny scale like mine, or register for VAT "MOSS" which allows me to collect tax in the different rates depending on the countries, but still only pay the collected tax to Finland.

But what if they decline my MOSS registration for some reason? Then I am screwed I guess.

But generally speaking I hate to deal with tax and I would very much prefer Paddle handled all of that for me.

Sounds accurate to me. This only covers the EU as well and not other countries (assuming you want to sell worldwide), and the rules are always changing too (I'm in the UK and Brexit just happened!).

Yeah I haven't even looked into other countries yet! So it's a mess for an indie hacker like me. I am a team of one and I don't really have the resources to keep myself compliant and up to date with this stuff...
