EU VAT & Billing Changes
What changed?
We recently registered for VAT in the European Union. That means we’re now required to apply EU VAT rules when billing customers in the EU.
This is a normal step for SaaS companies as they grow internationally.
Why am I now seeing VAT on my invoice?
If you’re located in the EU and haven’t provided a valid VAT ID, we’re required to add VAT based on your country’s rate.
Nothing about our pricing has changed - this is a tax requirement, not a price increase.
I’m a business — why am I being charged VAT?
Most likely, we don’t have your VAT ID on file yet, or the one we have isn't valid.
👉 Add your VAT ID by going to your team's Billing page and selecting the Open Customer Portal link.
Select "Update information"
Add or update your VAT number
Once a valid VAT ID is on file:
VAT will no longer be charged
Your invoices will use the reverse charge mechanism
What is the reverse charge mechanism?
It’s a standard EU rule for B2B services.
Instead of us charging VAT, you report and account for it locally.
Your invoice will include a note like:
"VAT reverse charged under Article 44 of the EU VAT Directive"
What VAT rate do you charge?
If VAT applies, it’s based on your country’s rate. For example:
Poland: 23%
Germany: 19%
France: 20%
Will this affect my pricing?
No - our pricing hasn’t changed.
VAT is added on top only when required by law.
I already paid VAT, but I have a VAT ID — what now?
Once we have your VAT ID, future invoices will not include VAT.
If you think VAT was charged incorrectly, reach out, and we’ll take a look.
Quick summary
We’re now EU VAT registered
VAT applies if no valid VAT ID is provided
Businesses can avoid VAT via reverse charge
This is a standard compliance step for SaaS companies
