## Understanding Youdji’s Billing Model

Youdji’s billing model is based on a **buy–resell** principle:
* **Youdji buys** your service
* **Youdji then resells** that same service to the final client (brand, agency, company, etc.)

👉 In practice:
* For each collaboration, **Youdji issues a sales invoice in your name**.
* **Your direct client is Youdji (Finller)**, not the brand or agency you worked with.

### ✅ Advantages for European creators

* **Simplified taxes** – Youdji automatically calculates, applies, and remits VAT when required.
* **No commission invoice** is issued — you directly receive the net amount due.
This is especially beneficial for **self-employed creators (auto-entrepreneurs)** who cannot deduct expenses.

## 💰 What should you declare?

You must **always declare the amounts shown on the invoices issued in your name**.
In accounting, **only the invoice counts** 😉
This means you don’t declare what the client paid, but rather **the amount on your own invoice**.

## 🧾 Declaration examples according to your status

### **Example 1 – Self-employed or business not subject to VAT**

#### Situation

You send an offer for **€100 (excl. VAT)** to your client via Youdji.
The client accepts and pays for the order (with or without VAT depending on their status, but that’s not your concern).

#### What you receive

Once the collaboration is approved, Youdji transfers **€80 excl. VAT** to your bank account.

#### 📄 Invoice issued in your name

| Field | Detail |
| ---- |
| **Buyer** | Finller (Youdji) |
| **Seller** | You |
| **Amount excl. VAT** | €80 |
| **VAT** | €0 (not subject) |
| **Total incl. VAT** | €80 |

#### To declare
* **Turnover**: €80
* **Expenses**: €0
* **VAT**: €0

### **Example 2 – French self-employed or company subject to VAT**

#### Situation

You send an offer for **€100 excl. VAT**.
The client accepts and pays (with or without VAT depending on their status, but again, that’s not your concern).

#### What you receive

Once the order is approved, Youdji transfers **€96 incl. VAT**.

#### Invoice issued in your name

| Field | Detail |
| ---- |
| **Buyer** | Finller (Youdji) |
| **Seller** | You |
| **Amount excl. VAT** | €80 |
| **VAT (20%)** | €16 |
| **Total incl. VAT** | €96 |

#### To declare
* **Turnover (excl. VAT)**: €80
* **Expenses**: €0
* **VAT collected**: €16
> You must remit these €16 to the tax authorities in your VAT declaration.

### **Example 3 – European (non-French) self-employed or company subject to VAT**

#### Situation

You send an offer for **€100 excl. VAT**.
The client accepts and pays (with or without VAT depending on their status, but that’s not your concern).

#### What you receive

After validation, Youdji transfers **€80 incl. VAT**.

#### Invoice issued in your name
| Field | Detail |
| ---- |
| **Buyer** | Finller (Youdji) |
| **Seller** | You |
| **Amount excl. VAT** | €80 |
| **VAT** | €0 (reverse charge) |
| **Mandatory note** | “VAT reverse charged – Article 196 of Directive 2006/112/EC” |
| **Total incl. VAT** | €80 |

#### To declare
* **Turnover (excl. VAT)**: €80
* **Expenses**: €0
* **VAT**: €0 (reverse charge)

> You must usually include this transaction in your VAT declaration as an **intra-EU service supply**.

## 🪄 Summary

| Status | VAT applied | Note on invoice | Amount to declare |
| ---- |
| Self-employed / Non-VAT business | 0% | None | Turnover = excl. VAT amount |
| French business subject to VAT | 20% (or current rate) | VAT collected | Turnover + VAT to remit |
| EU business subject to VAT | 0% | “VAT reverse charged” | Turnover only |

# Non-European Creators (US, Canada, etc.)

## 🔍 Understanding Youdji’s Billing Model

For creators **outside the European Union** (United States, Canada, UK, Switzerland, etc.), Youdji operates under a **standard commission model**.

### How it works

* For each collaboration, **Youdji issues an invoice to the final client in your name.**
* Once the order is completed, **Youdji issues a commission invoice** for its intermediation service.

👉 Thus:
* **Your direct client** is **the brand or agency** you work with.
* **Youdji** acts as **your service provider**.

## 💰 What should you declare?

You must **always declare the amounts shown on your own invoices.** In accounting, **only the invoice counts** 😉

This means:
* You declare the **total amount invoiced to the client** (your gross income).
* You can then **deduct Youdji’s commission** as a **business expense** (if allowed by your local tax rules).

## Full Example
### Situation

You send an offer for **€100 excl. VAT** to your client via Youdji.
The client accepts and pays for the order.

> Depending on your country, you may add a local tax (VAT, sales tax, GST, etc.).
> If so, **you are responsible for collecting and remitting it** to your tax authority.

### Associated invoices
#### **1. Your invoice to the client**

| Field | Detail |
| ---- |
| **Buyer** | The client (brand or agency) |
| **Seller** | You |
| **Amount excl. tax** | €100 |
| **Tax** | According to your local law (e.g. 0%, 5%, 20%, etc.) |
| **Total incl. tax** | €100 + applicable tax |

> This invoice represents your **gross revenue**.
> This is the amount you must declare as professional income.

#### **2. Commission invoice issued by Youdji**

| Field | Detail |
| ---- |
| **Buyer** | You |
| **Seller** | Finller (Youdji) |
| **Amount excl. VAT** | €20 |
| **Tax** | €0 |
| **Total incl. VAT** | €20 |

> This invoice represents **Youdji’s retained commission**.
> You can **record it as a business expense**, depending on your country’s tax rules.

### What you receive

After the order is validated:
* Youdji transfers **€80 excl. VAT** (+ any applicable local tax) to your bank account.
* You keep **both invoices** for your bookkeeping.

### To declare

| Item | Amount | Explanation |
| ---- |
| **Turnover** | €100 | Amount from your client invoice |
| **Local tax** | Depending on your country | e.g. VAT, GST, sales tax (if applicable) |
| **Business expense** | €20 | Youdji’s commission, deductible depending on your status |

💡 **Good to know:**
* Tax rates (VAT, GST, sales tax, etc.) vary depending on your country or state.
* If you are not subject to any tax, you can simply issue **tax-free invoices**.
* Always keep copies of **both invoices (yours + Youdji’s)** for your tax declarations.
