Frequently asked questions about invoicing without a company
-
No! With Worknode you can invoice as a private individual. We take care of tax, VAT, social security contributions, pension and insurance.
-
As a rule, 25% VAT should be added when you invoice as a private individual. However, there are a number of exceptions.
For you who are an artist, when you invoice as a self-employed artist through Worknode, you must apply 25% VAT, according to the regulations Worknode follows. If your customer is a VAT-liable company, this does not affect you as the company has the right to offset input VAT against output VAT. If your customer is a private individual or association that is not required to account for VAT, your price must be 25% higher. Therefore, remember to state your price to private individuals and associations including VAT so that you receive the correct compensation.
Worknode has an obligation to manually approve VAT-exempt invoices before they are sent out to customers. It must then be clearly stated which VAT exemption is applicable to the invoice, this is written in the text line of the invoice.
