The European Union (EU) assesses a consumption tax on goods and services for use in its member countries.
This tax is known as the Value Added Tax or simply VAT.
Although we are a U.S.-based tech company, we are required to comply with EU regulations regarding VAT.
We charge EU-based customers for VAT using the tax rate effective in their respective countries.
For a complete list of member countries and their corresponding VAT rates, please see the official EU VAT rates at http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/resources/documents/taxation/vat/how_vat_works/rates/vat_rates_en.pdf.
