What do I fill in under "VAT number"?

EXPORTCOMMENTS.COM is run from the European Union. This means that if you are operating from an EU member country, we will need to charge you VAT. If you're also a registered business, however, this VAT becomes 0%^(*), which is convenient. For that we will need the VAT number of your business.

The internationalized format of your VAT number always starts with a two-letter country code, followed by a custom number which may contain letters and numbers depending on your country.

For example, a full VAT number looks like FR123456789B01, but may be shown as 123456789B01 on some documents. If you're unsure how to format your VAT number, use this tool to check its validity.

I don't have a VAT number

If you're from an EU member state but you don't have a VAT number for your business, then we have to charge you as a consumer, which means you'll pay your country's VAT over our services. Get in touch and we'll help you further.
