Compliance
Tax rates for your country — set up from day one.
Your country’s rates are ready when you start — in Germany and France also four 0 % rates with their reason, such as reverse charge. One is your default, every product carries its own rate, and one invoice can mix them. Not charging VAT? One tick and the tax disappears.
- Your country’s rates ready from day one — 19 % and 7 % in Germany, 20 % to 2.1 % in France
- Several rates on one invoice — net amount and VAT per rate
- Small-business scheme with one tick in your company profile

Mixed rates
Mixed rates, calculated right.
Choose the rate per line — the editor shows the net amount and the VAT for every rate as you type, and the invoice prints them the same way, as invoicing rules require.
Rate per line
Each line takes its product’s rate — a product without one gets your default rate, never 0 %. Change it right on the line.
Net or gross
Enter the price you know; the other one is worked out from the rate. Invoices always calculate from net.
To the cent, per rate
VAT is calculated once per rate on the net sum — the way the e-invoice standard EN 16931 asks for it.
0 % with a reason
Zero per cent — and the reason why.
A 0 % rate carries its reason: the invoice prints the matching note and the e-invoice the right category. You choose the rate on the line — Invoice never guesses it and never changes it.

- An e-invoice with reverse charge needs the customer’s VAT ID

Small business
Not charging VAT? One tick.
Under the small-business rule (§ 19 UStG) in Germany or the VAT franchise (art. 293 B CGI) in France you charge no VAT. Untick one box and UNENO takes care of the rest.

Day to day
Safe when things change.
Issued invoices stay
Every invoice keeps the rates it was written with. Changing a rate never alters an issued invoice.
Change once
Adjust a rate and every product that uses it follows — no product-by-product editing.
Export for your accountant
CSV or Excel with net, VAT and gross per invoice — and the tax rate per item.
Logged and protected
Every change in the activity log; who may view, create, edit or delete rates is up to the role.
Which tax rates are already set up?
The rates of your company’s country, created when you start — the standard rate as your default: in Germany 19 %, 7 % and 0 %, in France 20 %, 10 %, 5.5 %, 2.1 % and 0 %. German and French companies also get four 0 % rates with their reason: reverse charge, intra-community supply, export delivery and not taxable in the country. Every EU country, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Iceland, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia are covered.
Can I combine several rates on one invoice?
Yes. Every line has its own rate — taken from the product and changeable on the line. The editor shows the net amount and the VAT for each rate separately — and the invoice prints them the same way.
How do I invoice reverse charge or an export?
Pick the matching 0 % rate on the line: “Reverse charge”, “Intra-community supply”, “Export delivery” or “Not taxable in Germany” (in France: “Not taxable in France”). The invoice prints the note that goes with it and the e-invoice the right category. Invoice doesn’t decide the treatment for you — but it points out a choice that doesn’t fit the customer, such as reverse charge without a valid VAT ID.
Does the invoice show the net amount per tax rate?
Yes. With several rates on one invoice, each VAT line names the net amount it is charged on — for example “VAT 7% on €250.00” — as invoicing rules require (in Germany § 14 (4) No. 7 UStG). With a single rate, one VAT line is enough.
What happens when a tax rate changes by law?
You adjust the rate in the settings or add a new one — every product with that rate follows. Issued invoices keep the rates they were written with. Rates never change on their own.
How is VAT rounded?
Once per rate, on the sum of the net amounts, to the cent — not line by line. That is what the e-invoice standard EN 16931 prescribes, so invoice and e-invoice always add up the same.
Where do I switch off VAT for a small business?
In your company profile: untick “This business charges VAT”. From then on there are no tax fields, every line is at 0 % and every invoice carries the note: § 19 UStG in Germany, art. 293 B CGI in France (elsewhere a neutral “no VAT charged” note).
Can I enter prices gross?
Yes. Every line and every product can take the gross price; the net price is worked out from the rate. The invoice itself is always calculated from net.
Does UNENO file my VAT return?
No. UNENO does not create your VAT return (in Germany the UStVA). Export your invoices as CSV or Excel with net, VAT and gross for your accountant — or, in Germany, as a DATEV export for your tax adviser.
Which rates apply in Austria and Switzerland?
An Austrian company starts with 20 %, 10 % and 0 %, a Swiss one with 8.1 %, 2.6 % and 0 %. Further rates — such as 13 % in Austria or 3.8 % in Switzerland — you add yourself in seconds.
