Excluding Sales Tax (EU VAT)

Last update: May 16, 2025

For companies registered outside of the EU, sales tax will not be added to your order. If sales tax is being shown at checkout, make sure you selected the correct country in the billing details section.

IN THIS ARTICLE

This simple guide will explain how EU-based businesses or individuals with a registered VAT number can exclude sales tax at checkout.

If you are a VAT-registered business located within the European Union (outside Malta), you may be eligible to purchase without VAT when purchasing an Aggregator premium plan. This guide explains how VAT exemption works at checkout, how to enter your VAT number, and what to expect during the order process.

How VAT Exemption Works

The Aggregator plugin is owned and operated by RebelCode Ltd, a limited liability company based in Malta. Therefore, EU regulations allow businesses in other EU countries to be exempt from VAT when making cross-border purchases. To qualify, you must provide a valid VAT registration number from your home country.

Our system validates the provided VAT number against the EU VIES database. If the VAT number is confirmed as valid, VAT will be automatically excluded from the order total.

Requirements for VAT Exemption

You must be located in an EU country outside Malta.
You must provide a valid, active VAT registration number at checkout.
The billing country must match the country associated with the VAT number.

How to Exclude VAT at Checkout

Select your plan from our pricing page and click Buy Now.

At checkout, scroll down to the Billing Details.
Enter your valid VAT number.

Review the Order Summary at the top of the page.
Complete your purchase (excluding VAT) by clicking the Complete Order button.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

VAT number not accepted: Double-check that you have entered the number correctly and that it matches your billing country.
VAT still charged after entering number: If validation fails, VAT will remain on the order. Contact your local tax authority to verify the status of your VAT number.
VAT field not showing: Ensure you have selected an eligible EU country (not Malta) in the billing information.

Important Notes

You are responsible for ensuring that you meet any local VAT exemption rules and maintain correct VAT reporting.
VAT exemption is only granted after successful real-time validation. We cannot refund VAT retrospectively if the VAT number is not entered or validated during checkout. In such cases, we may refund the original purchase and ask you to make a new order with the VAT number validated at checkout.
