WHY DO WE CHARGE VAT?
Why do we charge VAT?
Article 53 of the EU VAT Directive (Council Directive 2006/112/EC) says that for the right of entry to cultural, artistic, sporting, scientific, educational, entertainment or similar events in exchange for a ticket or payment, the place of supply is where the event physically takes place.
As the conference is held in Austria, the place of supply is Austria. This means we must add 20% VAT to all delegate registration passes. This is regardless of where your company is based.
Can I claim it back?
Most attendees can claim back their VAT once it has been paid and we are very happy to provide invoices to help you do this.
How can I claim it?
You can claim back VAT, if you are registered for VAT. Contact Tax back international below to help reclaim your VAT.
You can also claim back VAT on your hotel, travel costs and other expenses at the same time. This should allow you to save 20% on many of your costs.
