Hi,
dev here, thanks for the input!
Fruits is a pivot for fanbase.com which sadly didn't make it. Within a few days, we managed to build fruits and launched it as the quickest MVP we could come up with. That's what you're seeing today.
The imprint still points towards the current legal entity (fanbase GmbH). A new legal entity is currently under registration by the founders. Once the paperwork is done, the founders will move all assets to the new company and align the imprint accordingly.
Concerning taxation: this seems to be a clear improvement we need to work on communicating. Taxation is hard and we tried to break it down in a pricing calculator (which does not yet seem to do all that good of a job, point taken).
Disclaimer - as mentioned below/above in some of the comments: not the tax attorney ;-)
We are working with a tax office that helped us figuring out international taxation and will be able to answer all legal taxation questions in detail for each single country we're in business with.
Taxation for fruits essentially means:
- fruits charges the buyer and applies tax applicable for fruits (company in Germany) and the buyer in country XYZ
- each buyer will receive an invoice (issued by fruits)
- the seller will receive a single credit note for all sales performed within a month targeting a German company (fruits)
[Buyer] > [Seller]
