Taxes and Payment
Taxes - VAT 25%
Onsite / In-Person attendance
According to Swedish and EU legislation, 25% Swedish VAT will be added to all registration fees for onsite/in-person attendance.
This according to EU legislation and regulation for conferences and events (C-647/17, EU:C:2019:195, of 13 March 2019 and Article
53 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2016) VAT is paid in the country where services are rendered, e.g. the country in which the conference takes place.
Exception: Swedish participants from governmental public sector organizations (e.g., universities, governmental agencies): No VAT will be added. In this case, you must choose Invoice (Swedish billing address only) as the payment mode and provide the VAT number of your employer.
For credit card payment, VAT is always added no matter of your employee organization.
Online / digital attendance
The EU legislation states regarding digital conferences that VAT is paid in the country where the service is consumed i.e. in the buyer's country. Therefore, no VAT will be added to the registration fee for participants who participate digitally from a country outside of Sweden.
