EU VAT for SaaS
Bill customers in Europe with the right VAT on every invoice
Set your VAT rate for each country once. Every invoice then carries the VAT of the customer's country, the reverse-charge note for business buyers and an EU VAT number checked against VIES. Bill in EUR and GBP on your own payment gateway.
Right VAT for each customer keeps invoices paid and records clean
In the EU, VAT on a SaaS sale to a consumer usually follows the customer's country. A sale to a VAT-registered business usually moves to reverse charge, and the invoice must say so. The UK has its own VAT rules. Two Minute Billing applies the rules you set, and your accountant still files your returns.
The right rate for each country
VAT on a sale to a consumer usually follows the customer's country. If you charge too little, you pay the difference.
Invoices that business buyers accept
A business buyer checks the invoice before it pays. A missing reverse-charge note means a dispute and a late payment.
Records that match what you filed
Each invoice keeps the rates and treatment it was issued with. A later rate change never rewrites it.
VAT invoicing by the customer's country, at the rates you set
You enter each rate once. On every invoice, the customer's country decides which one applies.
- A tax region per countryAdd each country you sell to, with your VAT rates. The customer's country decides which rate applies.
- Prices with or without VATQuote €29.00 before VAT, or €29.00 with VAT inside it. The engine backs the tax out of an inclusive price.
- VAT exempt invoicesMark a customer exempt. Their invoices carry no tax, with the reason on record.
- Rates kept on each invoiceRates and your registration are recorded at issue. A later rate change never re-taxes an old invoice.
Reverse charge VAT for business customers, with the note on the invoice
A business buyer in another EU country accounts for the VAT itself. You select the treatment, and the invoice says so.
- Selected per customerSelect the reverse-charge treatment on a business customer. Their invoices follow it from then on.
- 0% VAT and the noteThe invoice carries 0% VAT and your reverse-charge note, so the buyer's finance team can book it.
- The treatment stays on recordThe treatment is recorded on each invoice when it is issued, next to the rates.
VIES VAT check
EU VAT numbers checked against VIES, without blocking your invoices
Each EU VAT number is checked live against the official register. If VIES is down, you still bill.
- Checked against VIESEach EU VAT number is checked against the official VIES register of the European Commission.
- VIES down? Billing goes onAn outage never blocks a new customer or an invoice. The result stays "undetermined".
- You decide the treatmentA valid number does not change the invoice by itself. You select reverse charge on the customer.
Euros and pounds
Euros, pounds and SEPA Direct Debit, on your own payment gateway
Collect from bank accounts across Europe. Hosted checkout, a self-service portal and failed-payment recovery come with it.
- Multi-currency invoicingPrice your plans in EUR, GBP and other currencies, and bill each customer in theirs.

Money you can trace, cards you never hold
How we keep billing safeAn append-only ledger
Balances come from double-entry records. A correction is a new entry, so every figure traces back to the rows behind it.

Card numbers go from the browser straight to your payment gateway. They never reach our servers or yours.
