Hi there! I'm the founder of Quaderno. Managing EU VAT MOSS shouldn't be cost you so much money. In fact, VAT is a consumption tax and, therefore, it's paid by your customer. You business is just a mere collector of that tax.
Quaderno can help you calculate taxes in real time based on your customer location, issue tax receipts automatically, generate a billing history for your customers, and generate the tax reports you'll need for your filings.
Much cheaper than paying 15% of your income :) Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help!
It also sounds like Quaderno [2] + Stripe is a common and decent combo.
I think I'll go with Paddle for now. It sounds simple and safe.
