Information about VAT outside the UK

VAT rules in Europe are complex, but hopefully this explains how it works:

If you're outside Europe, you will pay the tax free price as shown. You may need to pay import duties in your country, but that's for you to work out. In most cases we believe this isn't necessary.

If you're inside Europe, not in the UK, and a business that is VAT (or TVA) registered, you can either pay the price shown as including VAT and claim back the VAT yourself or you can call Interconnect IT directly on +44 151 709 7977 and we will make a charge over the phone by credit card, and can invoice you directly without the VAT charge. Renewals will have to be processed the same way. We will automate this process in due course.

If you're in the UK, you have to pay the VAT inclusive whether you're a business or an individual.

If you're in Europe and an individual or business that is not registered for VAT then you also have to pay the VAT inclusive price.

Please don't call us to discuss VAT regulations in your country - that's between you and your accountant - we are most emphatically NOT tax consultants and are not qualified to advise.

And yes - the EU VAT rules are a pain in the neck for small companies trading internationally.
