• Cross-border VAT on digital services

• B2C and B2B transactions

• Subscription-based billing models

• Marketplace sales

• E-invoicing requirements in multiple countries

• Regulatory and tax compliance obligations

Lappa software helps education and training businesses stay compliant, automate tax and invoicing processes, and scale internationally without operational complexity.

Below are practical examples of how L’Tax, L’Invoice, L’Authorize, and L’EPR support real education and training scenarios.

L’Tax – VAT Automation for Online Courses & Digital Learning

Use case example: Online Course Platform Selling Across the EU

An e-learning platform sells video courses, certifications, and subscription-based training programs to students and companies across the EU, UK, and beyond.

Digital services are subject to specific VAT rules:

• VAT applies based on the customer’s location

• OSS (One-Stop Shop) may apply for EU B2C sales

• Different VAT rates apply across EU member states

• B2B reverse charge rules must be applied correctly

How L’Tax Helps

• Automatically determines the correct VAT rate based on customer location

• Applies OSS rules for EU cross-border sales

• Handles B2B reverse charge transactions

• Verifies VAT numbers for business customers

• Tracks tax liabilities per country

• Generates VAT reports ready for filing

Result

The education provider charges accurate VAT on every transaction, reduces compliance risk, and expands internationally without manual tax management.

L’Authorize – EU Compliance Support for Non-EU EdTech Companies

Use case example: Non-EU EdTech Company Expanding into Europe

A non-EU digital education platform wants to sell subscriptions and certifications to EU customers.

To operate smoothly in the EU, the company must ensure:

• Proper regulatory compliance

• Accurate documentation

• A formal EU contact point when required

How L’Authorize Helps

• Provides compliance guidance tailored to digital education services

• Acts as an EU Authorized Representative when required

• Supports communication with EU authorities

• Assists with regulatory documentation and risk mitigation

Result

The EdTech provider enters the EU market faster, reduces regulatory risks, and builds trust with European customers.
