Who must pay VAT?
All organisations (business-to-business customers) in the UK, and in the European Community (EC) that do not have a VAT number, must pay VAT. Students (business-to-consumer customers) in the EC must pay VAT whether their organisation has a VAT number or not.
Customers outside the EC are exempt from VAT.
If you should not pay VAT, but it appears when ordering, please contact us before submitting your order. No amendments or cancellations can be made after an order is received.
