How can I edit my tax information on the platform?

If your VAT number, tax ID, or tax-exempt status has changed — or you simply need to correct something — here's exactly where to update it.

Where to edit your tax information

  1. Go to your Profile.
  2. Open Personal Info (Business & Tax info section).
  3. Here you can update:
    • Your VAT/tax number
    • The "I am tax exempt" toggle (if you are)
    • Your business details (name, registration, address)

Save your changes once you're done.


What happens after you update it

  • If you add or change a VAT number, it's automatically re-checked against VIES (for EU numbers). If it validates, your commission rate updates to reflect it.
  • Changes apply prospectively — from that point forward — not retroactively. Invoices and commission already generated for past bookings aren't recalculated.
  • If you toggle "I am tax exempt," make sure every item on your future proposals is set to 0% VAT — see I'm on a small-business with VAT exempt if you're not sure this applies to you.

If your VAT number won't validate

See My VAT number shows as not valid for the most common reasons and how to fix it. And if you're not sure which number to enter for your country in the first place, check Tax ID / Business Number — What to Enter by Country.

💡 Keeping this information accurate matters beyond your commission rate too — it's what appears on every invoice ChefMaison generates in your name, so it needs to match your actual registration.
