If you have a Value Added Tax (VAT) ID number registered with the European Commission or with an authority outside the European Union (EU), you may want to add it to your Staybnb account.
Learn more updating your pricing when your VAT ID is available for use.
Within the EU
You can add your VAT ID number whether you’re a Host operating as a business or a guest paying with an employer’s payment method.
When your VAT ID number is successfully verified by the European Commission through the VAT Information Exchange System (VIES), you won’t be charged VAT on our service fees. It will be your responsibility to self-assess whether you need to pay VAT for the use of our services.

If your VAT ID number isn’t successfully verified by the European Commission, you may want to try re-entering it. Staybnb isn’t able to associate a VAT ID number with your account without this verification, and we can’t troubleshoot problems. For a list of correct formats for VAT ID numbers by member state and additional information, please see the European Commission's VIES FAQ.
If your VAT ID number can’t be verified and you determine you need to self-assess VAT on our service fees, we encourage you to consult a tax advisor for assistance.
