Event VAT
Fiscal Solutions provide trusted and reliable VAT compliance services in all EU countries and beyond to ensure your events are VAT compliant.
VAT for event organisers - when to register?
Admission fees to events such as conferences, seminars, training courses or exhibitions are usually classified as taxable in the host country. The host country is where the event takes place and will oblige event organisers into a local VAT registration.
Once registered, the event organisers will then have a requirement to charge customers VAT on admission to the event and can potentially deduct VAT incurred on the running of the event subject to the rules of the host country.
VAT for online events
In today’s digital world, it’s easy to organise and run events online, however some businesses don’t think about whether this could lead to a requirement to charge customers VAT on the online attendance. Due to differing VAT rules, holding an online event could lead to a VAT registration requirement in either the country where the online event is hosted from or in the country where the customer is receiving the service itself.
The European Council has confirmed that from 1 January 2025, VAT is due on online events in the country of the consumer. Find out more here.
At Fiscal Solutions, we can help you to make sense of these rules and provide a seamless service to ensure your online event is VAT compliant.
