Possibly better suited to the accounting forum, but you only have to charge VAT if your turnover (or maybe income?) is above a certain limit (somewhere around €40k a year). That website is an introduction service, not a cleaning agency (they make that very clear). The cleaners are self employed, and the website seems to charge €2 per hour as their introduction fee.

Was 37.5k last I checked and turnover not income. It's a pretty low threshold I think.

So in that case, if they take €2 per hour as their fee, there'd have to be 9 cleaners working full 40 hour weeks, 52 weeks a year before they'd hit the threshold. Given that the cleaners are self-employed, and don't get paid for travel time between jobs, probably don't do 40 hours a week, and the company seems pretty new, they may not have hit that limit yet.

I imagine that the cleaners are self employed and the site is just like an booking agent.
