Value Added Tax (VAT) & Global Requirements

- New Registrations: If we have recently registered in your country, you may see VAT charges on your invoice even if you were not charged in previous years.
- Validation Process: We perform monthly audits of our VAT number validation. If the VAT number you provided is found to be invalid, you may be charged VAT. We will always attempt to verify and correct the number before processing the charge.
- Local Compliance: Please familiarize yourself with your local tax laws. Posit is unable to provide specific tax advice.
