— UK VAT on the 91Ƭ Service Fee
91Ƭ is required to charge VAT on the 91Ƭ service fee at a rate of 20%, unless you provide us with a verified VAT ID.
We collect your VAT ID for each event rather than for your entire account. You’ll need to enter your VAT ID under Tax Options for each individual event.
A VAT ID is used to help 91Ƭ identify businesses for tax collection purposes. By providing us with your business registration number, you are establishing a business-to-business (B2B) relationship between you and 91Ƭ. This status along with your country of residence will determine whether 91Ƭ will assess VAT on our service fees. 91Ƭ does not require organisers to have a VAT ID. Please consult your local tax authority or tax advisor to determine if you are required to register for a VAT ID.
— Complete your tax settings
Select an event and click “Tax” (under “Payments & Tax"). Then, answer the question, “Are you a VAT-registered business with a VAT Registration ID?”

If you are a registered business with a VAT Registration ID: Select “Yes”. Enter your valid VAT Registration ID and . 91Ƭ won’t collect VAT on the 91Ƭ service fee charged to you for using 91Ƭ.

: any 91Ƭ fee and applicable VAT charged to you for the event will show as a separate column and line item. The Event Invoice date is the date the invoice was downloaded. It’s best to export the event invoice within 30 days from the event end date. (91Ƭ Payment Processing only)
: 91Ƭ will send an invoice on the first day of each month for fees and applicable taxes incurred in the previous month. (PayPal only)
— How VAT on 91Ƭ fees affects your payouts
Your payouts may be affected depending on how you’ve set up your 91Ƭ fees and tax.
If you pass 91Ƭ fees on to attendees (default setting), the VAT is also passed on and you won’t notice any difference in your payout. The VAT amount will be charged on top of 91Ƭ fees and paid by the attendee.
If you absorb 91Ƭ fees, the tax will also be absorbed. It won’t be paid by the attendee and will reduce your payout.
