When a payment is made, Webnode is obligated to distinguish whether the payment is related to business or private purposes. This is due to EU requirements on the reporting and accounting of VAT for these different purposes. Webnode is obligated to collect VAT for services purchased by users in the European Community according to the VAT on eCommerce directive (2006/112/EC), and modified by directive (2008/8/EC) of the European Commission.
1. End Users for Personal Purposes (B2C)
It is important for Webnode users to know that the VAT for the activation of Premium Services is collected and reported by Webnode.
Webnode is registered in the EU as a VAT MOSS (Mini One Stop Shop) with the VAT ID: EU826017277 which will appear on your invoice if you are a European user. The EU indicates that Webnode is a Non-EU company that is registered in the EU in order to collect and report EU VAT.
Please note that the VAT ID listed above is unable to be verified via the VIES (VAT Information Exchange System), which is operated by the European Commission, for reasons mentioned above.
2. Business Entities – VAT Payers (B2B)
If you are a registered business with a valid European VAT ID registered in a EU member state, you are able to enter this VAT ID when ordering Premium Services. Your VAT will be charged at 0% due to a delegation tax liability known as the reverse charge system.
Please be sure to consult your tax and financial advisors about your tax declaration obligations.
Invoices as mentioned above will fall under Webnode’s Swiss VAT ID: CHE-413.669.887. You are able to verify the VAT ID here: MWST.
3. Business Entities – Non-VAT Payers
If you are registered as a business but do not have a valid VAT ID, your VAT will be charged at 0%. While purchasing Webnode services, you will be known as a “person identified for VAT.” Please be sure to consult your tax and financial advisors about your tax declaration obligations.
Invoices as mentioned above will fall under Webnode’s Swiss VAT ID: CHE-413.669.887. You are able to verify the VAT ID here: MWST.
