Policies on the European Union’s Value Added Tax (VAT)
The VAT of the European Union and Ex2
The European Union (EU) applies a consumption tax on goods and services used in its member countries. This tax is known as the Value Added Tax, or simply VAT.
Although Ex2 is a company based in Canada, it must comply with EU regulations regarding VAT.
We charge VAT to customers based in the EU at the applicable tax rate in their respective countries. For a complete list of member countries and their corresponding VAT rates, please consult the official EU VAT rates.
The VAT identification number of Ex2 is EU250152413
Ex2 does not include VAT in the prices we display on our website. The VAT is actually billed and detailed separately on the invoices. For information on how to view and manage your invoices in the Ex2 Customer Portal, please consult this article.
VAT exemptions for businesses
If you run a company based in the EU, you may have to take care of the VAT yourself using the reverse charge system. In these cases, Ex2 does not charge you VAT.
To prove that your organisation meets the conditions for reverse charge of VAT, you must provide the following information:
- The name of your organization/company
- The VAT identification number of your organization/company
If you are a new customer of Ex2, you can provide this information during the purchase in the order form. If you are already a customer, you can add this information to your account to be exempt from VAT for future invoices. Once the VAT number is added (and confirmed automatically), your invoices will be exempt from VAT.
You are responsible for all VAT charges that may be incurred until we receive the information requested above.
We cannot refund previously charged VAT amounts.
All VAT identification numbers are subject to verification. Ensure you provide a valid VAT identification number.
