VAT rules by location
All prices shown are pre-VAT. We add VAT only where it applies:
- UK customers: 20% VAT is added at checkout.
- UK VAT-registered businesses: Supply your VAT number and we'll print it on your invoice. UK VAT is still charged.
- EU businesses: A valid VAT number (checked in VIES) triggers reverse charge. You pay no VAT.
- EU consumers: VAT at your country's rate applies.
- Rest of world: No UK VAT.
The final amount, including any VAT, appears on the payment page before you launch your transaction.
Enter your VAT number
If you're VAT-registered, add your number at checkout. You can also update it later in /account/billing. If the VIES system cannot verify your number at that moment, VAT is charged to your account, and you are told immediately. Once confirmed, you can request a credit note.
Your invoices
Zinn Digital® Ltd issues all invoices after payment clears. They land in your email, then orbit your account at /account/invoices as PDFs. Credit notes appear there too.
Questions people ask
- When is VAT added to my launch fee?
- VAT is added for UK customers (a UK VAT number is printed on the invoice but does not remove it) and for EU consumers without a valid registered VAT number. All other locations and VAT-registered EU businesses do not pay UK VAT. The exact amount shows on the payment page before you confirm.
- How do I supply my VAT number?
- Enter it at checkout, or add it later in /account/billing. The VIES system confirms it straight away. If confirmation fails, VAT is charged; you'll see this and can update your details.
- Where do I find my invoice?
- Check /account/invoices for all PDFs, including invoices and credit notes. They're emailed to you after payment is complete.
