Use Billbee and VAT GPT together?

The jobs differ:

Billbee: orders, invoices, shipping.
VAT GPT: VAT return, EÜR and OSS return from your marketplace reports.

If you sell on Amazon to consumers in other EU countries, are established only in Germany and these distance sales (together with certain electronic services) exceed 10,000 euros net (in the previous or the current year), the VAT of the destination country applies (§ 3c Abs. 4 UStG). OSS is an optional procedure for reporting it centrally at the BZSt (§ 18j UStG; BZSt: One-Stop-Shop). Whether Billbee handles that for you, ask Billbee.

What this means for you: Keep your order software and check where its tax steps end.

How VAT GPT helps

Upload: Amazon and eBay reports and invoices; the AI reads amounts, countries and tax rates.
Check: you review and confirm the values.
Send: with Pro through ELSTER to the tax office, the OSS return to the BZSt.

Not included: no tax advice, no shipping labels, no stock management. There are Free, Go and Pro (49 € a month or 444 € a year, incl. VAT). Try it for free
