What are VAT regions?
VAT regions determine the applicable value-added tax for your ticket pricing based on your location of business. If you're in the UK and your service's place of supply is also in the UK, you must charge and report VAT according to UK law.
A VAT region set for events in your store indicates whether VAT is applicable at your place of business.
What you need to know about VAT in the Eventcube platform
All prices remain VAT inclusive, so no VAT is added to your current ticket pricing. If your event is in the UK, a 20% VAT will be charged regardless of the currency used to place an order.
We strongly recommend seeking professional financial advice from a tax advisor to understand your tax responsibilities, and this page should not be taken as financial advice.
In general, VAT applies in the region the event is taking place (though this does not usually apply to virtual events), there may be exceptions for charity based or educational events. Again, we strongly recommend seeking advice from a tax accountant.
