We often get asked in what cases 0% VAT is applied. This is determined by two things – what is your tax residency (meaning where you spend at least 6 out of 12 months every year) and which country you are invoicing to. Consult the list below to see if VAT will be applied to your case.
Freelancer tax residency | Client | VAT rate |
