What is VAT?

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax applied to goods and services in EU countries. Different countries have different VAT rates. For example, Hungary has the highest standard rate at 27%, while Luxembourg has the lowest at 16%.

Do I need to pay VAT?

Cyprus-based customers: If you’re based in Cyprus, we charge the 19% local VAT to both private and business customers, as EDIS Global is based in Cyprus. EU residents outside Cyprus: If you’re an EU resident outside Cyprus, we charge the VAT rate applicable in your country of residence when you order. EU companies without a valid VAT ID: If your EU company doesn’t have a valid VAT ID, we charge your local VAT rate. Your business is eligible for full input tax deduction, just like receiving an invoice from a local company. Outside the EU: If you live outside the EU or in certain EU areas with special tax status, no VAT will be applied to your invoice.

Business customers (companies)

Cyprus-based companies: If your company is registered in Cyprus, we always charge 19% VAT. EU-based companies with a valid VAT ID: If your company is registered in the EU and has a valid EU VAT ID, we do not charge VAT. The “reverse charge” mechanism applies. Non-EU companies: If your company is based outside the EU, no VAT is added to your invoice.
