Pricing before VAT
Quoted prices exclude VAT. The tax is calculated and shown on the payment page before checkout.
VAT by location
- UK: 20 percent VAT is charged to all customers without a valid UK VAT number.
- EU with VAT number: If VIES confirms your number as valid, reverse charge applies and you pay no UK VAT.
- EU without VAT number: VAT at your country's rate is charged.
- Rest of world: No UK VAT is charged.
If VIES cannot verify an EU VAT number at the moment of entry, VAT is charged; you will be told immediately.
Submitting and updating a VAT number
Enter your number at checkout. To add or change it after purchase, go to /account/billing. UK VAT numbers are printed on your invoice; EU VAT numbers trigger reverse charge when verified.
Finding your invoices
Zinn Digital® Ltd issues all invoices after payment is taken. Check /account/invoices to download each one as a PDF. Credit notes appear there too.
Questions people ask
- Will I pay UK VAT if I have an EU VAT number?
- No. If your number passes VIES verification, reverse charge applies and UK VAT is not charged. If VIES cannot confirm it, VAT will be charged at that moment.
- When are invoices sent?
- Invoices are generated and emailed after payment completes. You can also view and download them anytime from /account/invoices.
- Which VAT rate applies to EU consumers?
- Your country's standard VAT rate. If you have a business VAT number that VIES can confirm, reverse charge applies instead.
