VAT and your invoices

Applies to: All plans

Maxinodes does not currently charge VAT or any tax at checkout. We are an EU/Irish company, but we are not yet VAT-registered, so your invoices today show no VAT line and the price you see is the price you pay. This article explains what that means, what we plan to do once we register, and how to add your VAT number and company details now so your invoices are correct.

Is VAT charged on my Maxinodes invoices?

No. We do not charge VAT or any tax at checkout today, and there is no VAT line on your invoices. The amount you see for your plan (for example, Self-Managed Lite at €3.99/mo) is the total you pay.

Why is there no VAT on my invoice?

Because Maxinodes is not yet VAT-registered. We are an EU/Irish company and registration is planned, but until it happens we cannot and do not charge VAT. When that changes, we will update this article and notify customers before any VAT appears on an invoice.

What will change once Maxinodes is VAT-registered?

Once we are VAT-registered, how VAT applies will depend on where you are and whether you are a business:

EU business customers with a valid VAT number: we plan to apply the 0% reverse-charge (you account for VAT yourself in your own country). Your VAT number will be validated against the EU VIES system, so it must be entered correctly.
EU consumers and customers without a valid VAT number: we plan to charge VAT at your country's rate and account for it through the EU One Stop Shop (OSS) scheme.

None of this is active yet. We are describing the plan so you can prepare, not a charge that exists today.

Should I add my VAT number now?

Yes, if you have one. Adding your VAT number and company details now means your invoices are correct from the start, and your account is ready for the reverse-charge treatment once we register. You can add or update them at any time.

How do I add my VAT number and company details?

Add them to your profile in the client area:

Log in to your client area at my.maxinodes.com.
Open the account/profile menu at the top right and go to your account/profile details.
Enter your company name and VAT number, along with your billing address.
Save your changes.

Result: Your company name and VAT number are stored on your account and will appear on future invoices.

If you cannot find the exact field for your VAT number, start a chat or email support and we will add it for you.

Can I get a copy of an invoice for my records?

Yes. You can view and download every invoice from Billing -> My Invoices in the client area at any time, even though they currently show no VAT.
