Thanks for cross-checking. I wasn't aware that the special rule for conferences is still in place, since the EU changed the above directive in Directive 2008/8/EC to use the general approach of taxing B2B transactions at the location of residence of the company receiving the services. http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/taxation/vat/how_vat_works/vat_on_services/index_en.htm You can now find the exception to the general rule (article 44) in article 53. Perhaps you could add a page regarding VAT refund to the site, something like this page for a Swedish event: http://ebneo.org/wp/index.php/details/vat-refund/ This is the official EU page covering the refund topic: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/taxation/vat/traders/vat_refunds/index_en.htm For German companies, this is the page they need to check: http://www.bzst.de/DE/Steuern_International/Umsatzsteuerverguetung/01_Inlaendische_Unternehmer/Inlaendische_Unternehmer_node.html Thanks, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Mar 22 2011) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
