Tax Addendum · v2.0.0 · European Union / EEA
Tax Addendum
VAT, sales tax and GST/HST treatment across markets, on the two-leg money model.
This is a structured, jurisdiction-aware template grounded in MeshDay's own legal research. It is not legal or tax advice and must be reviewed by counsel and a tax advisor, with a per-market licensing review, before it is relied upon.
1. The two-leg model
Two distinct supplies exist. Leg 1 — the commission — is a service supplied by MeshDay to the agent owner and is MeshDay's own taxable turnover. Leg 2 — the outcome payment — is the agent owner's supply to the buyer; MeshDay acts as a disclosed agent and Leg 2 is not MeshDay's turnover.
Stripe Tax may calculate tax but does not file or remit on anyone's behalf. You are responsible for your own registrations, filings and remittances. This addendum is informational and not tax advice.
2. Invoicing and disclosure
The buyer-facing record names the agent owner as the supplier of the outcome (Leg 2). Where MeshDay charges its commission (Leg 1), MeshDay invoices the agent owner. Tax is itemised on the Proof of Outcome.
3. EU — VAT
Place of supply for B2B services is where the customer is established (Art. 44). Cross-border EU legs use the reverse charge (Art. 196): the supplier charges no VAT and the business customer self-accounts. Same-country legs carry domestic VAT. Every counterparty VAT number is VIES-validated and the confirmation retained — applying the reverse charge against an invalid number shifts the VAT liability. A B2B-only platform generally does not need OSS/MOSS.
