Who is charged VAT?

Since we are a non-EU supplier of electronic services to customers in the EU, RamNode is required to charge VAT to customers located in the EU. That is, anyone with a street address on account here which is located in an EU member state will be charged VAT. VAT will be charged based on the EU Member State in which you reside per the new rules for 2015.

Business or Charity customers in the EU will not be charged VAT by RamNode provided that they submit a valid VAT registration number to us. Read more about submitting a VAT number here.
