Re:Ask HN: VAT and sales taxes for small SaaS by probst on Tuesday January 21, 2020 @03:29AM (#22105219)
For those coming across this post later, here is a nice comparison of FastSpring, Paddle, Gumroad, and Avangate [1] (in fact the whole post is an interesting read).

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.

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!
