Zoom will not charge VAT to customers that have a valid VAT number (as shown on the VIES database). What is a VAT ID number?Ī VAT identification number, or VAT registration number, is a unique number that identifies that a business is registered for VAT. Please refer to the FAQs for those countries for more information. Norway and Switzerland are not EU Member States. Are Norway and Switzerland included in the EU? Please refer to the FAQs for other countries for further information.

Please note other European countries that are not Member States of the EU may have their own VAT system. The countries that are currently Member States of the European Union are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (including Monaco for the purposes of VAT), Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden.

Where does EU VAT apply?ĮU VAT applies to EU Member States. As such, you may need to apply to your relevant tax authority for your VAT number to be included on the VIES database. In some EU Member States inclusion of a VAT number on the VIES database is not automatic. Zoom will use the VIES database (an official database for checking the validity of VAT numbers issued by EU Member States) to validate VAT numbers supplied through the Zoom billing portal. Please note that the VAT number you provide must be registered on the VIES database to be considered as valid. If you do not have a VAT number then VAT will be charged on the supplies made to you by Zoom. If the VAT number is valid then no VAT will be charged on the supplies made to you by Zoom. If you are a business customer, you should provide your VAT Identification Number to Zoom (see ‘How do I enter my VAT ID?’ below for details on how to do this). Subsequently, the supplier reports and remits the collected VAT to the tax authorities.

Generally, VAT is invoiced by the supplier that is selling goods or services and collected from the customer. It is a consumption tax because it is ultimately borne by the final consumer. It applies to most goods and services that are bought and sold for use or consumption in the European Union. VAT is in general due when goods and/or services are sold. VAT is the abbreviation of Value Added Tax.
