VAT or not VAT might apply in some cases and not apply in other situations depending on the legal setup of your entity. For EU-Based Subscribers With a VAT Number: If you're a business within the EU and have a valid VAT number, we do not charge VAT on your invoices. This is known as a reverse charge mechanism. It's essential that you provide us with your VAT number during the completion of the "instance request" form. Example : A digital agency based in Germany provides their VAT number. Their Cloud68 invoice will be without VAT. Without a VAT Number: Individuals or entities without a VAT number are required to pay VAT at the rate applicable in their country. This includes businesses not registered for VAT and consumers. Example: A freelancer in Spain without a VAT number requests a Nextcloud instance from Cloud68. The invoice will include Spanish VAT at the current rate. VAT RATES: Check here for the VAT rates based on your location. For Non-EU Based Subscribers Subscribers outside the EU are not charged VAT on our services.  Example : A startup based in Canada has an active PeerTube instance with Cloud68. They won't be charged VAT in their invoice.
