@build It's the part that takes the most work, yes.

Every rule has the date it takes effect, so 2025 and 2026 brackets live side by side and each transaction uses whatever was in force on its date. A mid-year change doesn't rewrite what you already recorded. I check all six systems against official sources twice a year.

The app checks for rule updates on its own and applies them without waiting for an App Store release, and you can force a refresh from Settings if you want it right away.

@alexveora Thanks Alex.

Each country has its own threshold, so Nett works it out per country. Spain has no VAT exemption at all, you charge IVA from the first euro. The UK shows how close you are to the ยฃ90k registration line. Germany follows Kleinunternehmer and France the franchise en base. Portugal warns you as you get near the โ‚ฌ650k line that moves you to monthly IVA.

That's the bit where spreadsheets usually break, and it's why I didn't want one generic EU model.

@developertoolbox Thanks! ๐Ÿ™Œ Really glad you like it.

Nett is built for freelancers, and itโ€™ll be available in the US soon too ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

@amishpatel Exactly, thatโ€™s the whole idea behind Nett. Revenue looks nice, but what really matters is knowing whatโ€™s actually yours to spend.

Thanks Amish! ๐Ÿ™Œ

@uvi82828 Thank you!

Thatโ€™s exactly what I wanted to solve: less tax uncertainty, less manual work, and more clarity for freelancers.

Glad the on-device OCR/privacy angle stood out too ๐Ÿ™Œ

Hope you try and use it ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ

Hey StartupBase ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm Eric, freelancer in Spain. I built Nett because I never trusted my bank balance. Taxes, VAT and social contributions aren't in that number.

So you either underspend in paranoia, or overspend and panic in April.

Nett does the math. Add invoices and expenses (type, scan a PDF, or photograph a receipt) and you get one number that tells you what's actually yours.

Built for freelancers across ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง.

Free forever for manual entry. Premium for AI extraction.

Honest feedback wanted, especially if you've struggled with the same problem. What's the tax thing that bites you the hardest?

How do you handle revenue verification on the seller side? Escrow protects the transfer but the harder problem is trusting MRR/traffic claims before you even make an offer. Any plans for verified Stripe/Plausible/App Store Connect integration?

What's the actual difference between your app and just buying a Theragun? Asking genuinely, not as a gotcha.

Curious how you handle multi-jurisdiction stuff. I'm building a freelancer finance app and invoices arrive from across the EU with different metadata per country. Did you build per-country templates or kept the flow generic?
