9. Why am I being charged VAT?

With events, it is where the event takes places that determines whether VAT is applicable, irrespective of where the customer is located. We therefore have to charge VAT to all attendees. You will be supplied with an VAT invoice, so you can claim back the VAT, where applicable.
