No, you don’t. As a vendor on Stitchonomy, you do not sell directly to the customer. Stitchonomy is the official seller, which means we handle everything related to VAT, invoicing, and tax compliance for each customer transaction.

How VAT works on Stitchonomy #

When a customer places an order, Stitchonomy:

• Collects the payment
• Calculates and includes 21% VAT (if required)
• Issues the invoice to the customer
• Handles all VAT reporting and payments

The prices shown on the Stitchonomy website are inclusive of 21% VAT. This means that customers see the final price including tax, while your commission is always calculated based on the price before VAT.

What you earn #

Your earnings are based on the base price of your product, before VAT is added. The 21% VAT is collected by Stitchonomy and paid to the Dutch tax authorities. This ensures everything stays compliant with EU Digital VAT regulations and keeps your payout process simple and consistent.

What this means for your pricing #

Because the displayed prices on our website include VAT, the final price customers see will be slightly higher than your original base price. Please keep this in mind when setting or updating your product prices to make sure your desired earnings remain the same after VAT is applied.

What you still need to do #

You’re responsible for handling your own business taxes. That includes:

• Reporting the income you receive from Stitchonomy
• Declaring this income on your local tax return
• Handling VAT separately for any other platforms you sell on, like Etsy or your own website

If you’re not sure what applies to you, we recommend speaking to a local tax advisor.
