EU Digital Services Taxes
Warning
We hate disclaimers, but we’re also not accountants! Nothing within this page should be construed or interpreted as accounting advice. We consulted with chartered accountants when building this feature, but you need to make yourself aware of the regulations!
If your training operation is based in the European Union, you may be aware of the EU Value Added Tax (VAT) regulation changes that went into effect January 1, 2015. Put simply, VAT rules were changed to make the supplier of digital services (from a business to a consumer) responsible for accounting for the applicable VAT rate to the tax authority of the consumer’s member state. If you’re still confused, check out the UK guidance on this matter or consult your accountant!

This function only applies to online orders that come through Weblink and the WordPress Plugin .
The rates and countries preloaded are from March 2015, however please make sure you review this for accuracy as it’s your responsibility to make sure you’re collecting the right VAT from the right EU member state.
