Short answer: once a platform such as Uber or Bolt starts charging you commission from abroad, you typically must register as an identified person (IO) within 15 days of the date that status arises — the trigger is the actual foreign counterparty and the invoice or statement date, not the app's brand or your first ride. After registration you file a VAT return for every month in which the obligation arose, due by the 25th of the following month, and once a year a separate self-employed income tax return with the related social-security and health-insurance overviews.
This page is the cluster map: where a driver starts, what repeats every month, what happens once a year and what to open if something is already late.
