VAT Exemption / Tax ID
Background
In most cases, charges are subject to German VAT ("Umsatzsteuer"). There are a few cases where there is an exemption, though:
Outside EU
You are a registered company outside the EU
If you update your billing address to include your company's name and address outside of the EU, no VAT will be charged.
Inside EU with Tax ID
You are a registered company outside of Germany and can provide a European tax id
If you update your billing address to include your company's name, the address and provide a valid tax id, reverse charge will apply and no VAT is added.
Setup
If you want to store your tax information in Datacake, you can do so through the billing settings. To do this, navigate to the billing settings using the sidebar.
In the Billing Section now click on "Update" to open up the Billing-Address-Settings.
This will bring up the following modal, where you can enter your custom Tax-ID:
Now enter a valid VAT-ID and press "Update". This will enable reverse-charge or tax exemption.
