What is VAT reverse charge?

In most cases, VAT is charged by the seller of goods or services. However, when you buy goods or services from a supplier in another EU country the reverse charge will apply and you (the buyer) will be responsible for reporting the VAT.

The aim of the reverse charge is to have VAT applied in the Member State where the customer is based, rather than where the supplier is based. This is known as the Member State of consumption. This only applies to B2B transactions.

The reverse charge means that the responsibility to report the VAT to the tax authorities falls to the customer, and their domestic rate of VAT applies. The VAT is reported in the customer’s local VAT return and does not appear in the supplier’s VAT return.

How can I change my account-type?

You may change your account-type from business/small-business to consumer (and reverse) any time when you have an account.
Go to "My Paradigit" and click "Change" under the header "Invoice details". You will need to re-enter your invoice details upon changing.
