|icon| VAT REGULATION
I have a VAT number, why am I being charged VAT?
Following EU tax law CEPIC as an Event Organiser must charge VAT on all congress invoices even when an agency provides a VAT number during registration. Here is the article of the EU Directive:
Article 53
The place of supply of services in respect of admission to cultural, artistic, sporting, scientific, educational, entertainment or similar events, such as fairs and exhibitions, and of ancillary services related to the admission, supplied to a taxable person, shall be the place where those events actually take place.
However, VAT can be refunded with your VAT number.
The CEPIC Congress is an event, CEPIC – European tax law – can’t excempt any company from VAT (value added tax).
“B2B services in respect of admission to cultural, artistic, sporting, scientific, educational, entertainment and similar events will be taxed at the place where those events actually take place [Article 53 of the VAT Directive]
- Example 34: When an Irish company for business purposes pays for the entry to an opera in Verona, the ticket will contain Italian VAT. That applies whether the ticket is bought on-line or at the ticket booth.
- Example 35: For a conference organised in Stockholm for participants paying a fee to attend, Swedish VAT is charged.
- Example 36: The work of drawing up a scientific report by the University of Cologne for a pharmaceutical company in Denmark will be subject to Danish VAT and accounted for by the Danish company (because it is not a service in relation to the admission to an event). This service will instead be taxed under the general rule of Article 44.”
This directive is taken from the Taxation and Customs Union of the European Commission.
CEPIC must charge French VAT of 20% on all Congress invoices.
However, businesses are entitled to refund of the VAT under certain conditions. Please contact your local tax authorities for more information.
