Why do I receive multiple invoices for Mbrella Charge sessions abroad?

Understanding VAT requirements for international charging sessions

You've noticed your company is receiving separate invoices for charging sessions in different countries. This is due to European VAT regulations for cross-border transactions.


Why you receive multiple invoices

When your employees charge their vehicles abroad, we must apply the VAT rate of the country where the charging session takes place. This is a legal requirement across Europe.

To comply with these VAT regulations, we issue separate invoices for each country where charging sessions occur.

How it works in practice

Here's an example:

If your employees charge in multiple countries during a billing period, you'll receive:

  • One invoice for all sessions in Belgium (with Belgian VAT)

  • One invoice for all sessions in Luxembourg (with Luxembourg VAT)

  • One invoice for all sessions in Germany (with German VAT)

Each invoice consolidates all charging sessions that took place in that specific country with the correct VAT rate applied.

VAT registration status

We are currently VAT-registered in Belgium's border countries:

  • Luxembourg – Active

  • Germany – Active

  • 🔄 France – Coming soon

  • 🔄 Netherlands – Coming soon

For now, we have decided to register for VAT only in Belgium's border countries. If your employees charge in other European countries, different invoicing conditions may apply.
