Long-time lurker. Built something I think this community needs.

The problem: EU VAT for digital subscriptions is genuinely

confusing and getting it wrong has real consequences.

Quick example of what most founders miss:

Selling to a consumer in France → charge 20% French VAT

Selling to a business in France → charge 0%, they self-account

(this is "reverse charge" — it's mandatory, not optional)

And that's before you deal with EU OSS registration thresholds,

US state-by-state rules, or Africa VAT.

I built a REST API that handles this. One call, you get:

- Correct rate for 80+ countries

- Tax amount and total price

- Compliance notes in plain English

- Automatic reverse charge detection for B2B EU

Hey everyone,

I recently built a small microservice to solve a frustrating problem I kept running into: parsing line items from unpredictable invoice layouts.

Traditional regex parsing breaks the moment a vendor changes their document formatting. To fix this, I built a FastAPI backend that takes raw text strings (like messy OCR or receipt text) and formats them into a clean JSON schema using generative AI.

The Tech Stack:

• Backend: Python / FastAPI
• Hosting: Render
• API Management: RapidAPI Hub

I'm currently looking for testers to see how well it handles different invoice types. If you've got a weirdly formatted invoice text string, I’d love for you to test the extraction speed and accuracy.

You can test the endpoint directly on the RapidAPI listing: Invoice and Receipt Extractor

Any feedback on the extraction schema or the response times is highly appreciated!
