How do I declare my organization's VAT number?
Short answer: Tick Subject to VAT, type the number with its country code in front, then leave the field: it is checked automatically before being saved.
Steps
- In the Billing part, tick Subject to VAT. A VAT number field appears.
- Type the number with its country code in front, no spaces and no dashes — for example
FR12345678901. - Press Enter or click elsewhere. The Validating VAT number... message appears.
- If the number is recognized, the Valid VAT number window opens and shows the company name and address on file with the authorities. Click Confirm to save the number alone, or Confirm and apply to copy that name and address into your details as well.
You'll know it worked when: The number stays in the VAT number field and the Saved message has appeared.
What the number changes
A money pot withdrawal by bank transfer covers the amount including VAT when the organization is VAT-registered and its number is on file. Without a number, the transfer only covers the amount excluding VAT.
Removing it
Unticking Subject to VAT clears the number. To put it back you have to tick the box again and type it once more; it will be re-checked.
