*important* VAT for clients from Europe

Monday, December 5, 2022



All customers within Europe are subject to VAT. Customers will be charged the VAT rate of their country of residence.

Some examples;
1) A France resident who buys an e-service from a provider based in The Netherlands will be subject to the France VAT in force (20%)
2) A German resident who buys an e-service from a provider based in The Netherlands will be subject to the German VAT in force (19%)
3) A Sweden resident who buys an e-service from a provider based in The Netherlands will be subject to the Sweden VAT in force (25%)

An exception to this are business customers which can provide their company details including a valid EU VAT number - these customers are not subject to VAT once MyHBD has validated these details.
