The deposit-or-prepayment test
Reads your cancellation clause as one of three wordings and names which side of CJEU C-277/05 and Article 65 it falls on, because the wording and not the amount decides whether any VAT is due.

2026 catering rates for six EU states
Germany 7% since 1 January 2026 and Ireland 9% since 1 July 2026, next to France 10%, Italy 10%, Spain 10% and the Netherlands 9%, so a fee you kept last month is not priced at last year's rate.

Back months and interest
Totals the VAT across every month you have already filed the same way and adds late-payment interest at the annual rate your own authority charges, so you see the exposure and not just this month's figure.

The sentence to change
Prints the one correction to make - declare it, reclaim it, or rewrite the clause - in the words your bookkeeper needs for the next return.

Next-return clock
Counts the days to your next VAT return, so you know whether this month's fees can still be corrected before the period closes.

CSV ledger and reminders (full version)
