Any high risk payment gateway that is not forcing VAT

[vgahdmi123]

So in theory if I open US LLC and connect it with stripe for selling VPN licences, it will force me to add 25% EU VAT for digital products which is a lot.
Is there any way to do setup with cloaking or is there any high risk payment gateway that is not forcing VAT?

I am selling 10k per month so it is not a lot anyay, my expenses are 50%, so if I add VAT it will eat my income.
I know that for digital products they force adding VAT, but is there any way to avoid this?

thanks

You might want to look into high-risk gateways like PayOp or CoinPayments. They’re more flexible with VAT and often used for setups like yours. Just make sure your flow doesn’t trigger compliance issues down the line.

so in general is it ok to ask them directly about VAT and do they force it, or ?

Edit
just tried to reach coinpayments but they dont support US companies, any alternatie?

Ignore the spam above, he's just farming with ridiculous posts to scam later.

You can't evade the VAT on Stripe. It's not Stripe forcing it, it's the EU. It's kinda a good thing btw.

Also, correction, it's not "25%" - it's whatever the rate of the EU country is. That you seeing 25% is indication you are either in Denmark or your VPN shows Denmark because the VAT rate of Denmark is 25%.

Also, don't use coinpayments. If you want to process Cyrpto, just hire a low skilled coder (like on freelancer.com or upwork; they are specialized in low skill work) and add your own checkout. For Crypto you literally don't need a 3rd party.

which offshore payment you are refering to, 15% sounds resonable and I would go with it.

Why not Paypal? Paypal never asks for VAT.

I always ask directly. This helps to avoid many problems.

but how does they know from what country the customers are .? I mean does processor take the vat by default? Sorry is my first time and i don't understand the concept but i know if as a customer i use a vpn the price will show without VAT if im outside EU

PayPal doesn't charge VAT because it doesn't sell things; it just processes payments. PayPal only handles the transaction; the business that sells the product or service applies VAT. The vendor adds VAT to the total amount you pay through PayPal if it is payable.
