VAT, done right
Most of this work qualifies for the reduced 13.5% VAT rate as a service on a property — but if the materials cost more than two-thirds of the ex-VAT price, the whole job flips to 23% (the "two-thirds rule"). Grafta handles VAT per line item so the invoice comes out right either way.

Can I price by the square metre?
Yes — say or type the area and your rate and Grafta builds the line ("Skim coat — 90m² @ €17"). Save your standard rates so repeat quoting is instant.
I work for builders on 30-day terms — does Grafta help?
Yes. Set the due date to match your terms, and Grafta tracks aging and sends reminders when the 30 days pass. You'll also see exactly which builders habitually run late.
Can I invoice from the van?
Grafta is built phone-first — quote, invoice, and record payments from the van, the scaffold or the kitchen table.
How much does Grafta cost?
Solo is €9.99/month for your first year on the founding offer (then €19.99), and Team starts at €49/month for 2 users. Every plan starts with a free trial — no card needed.
Do my customers need the app to accept a quote?
No. You send a link — they open it in their browser, see the itemised quote with your branding, and tap Accept. You get notified straight away.
