Delegates who live outside of the UK: Information about VAT and how it’s applied
The value added tax (VAT) position for delegates who live outside the UK but are attending a conference in the UK can be complex and depend on various factors. The CIEP has taken advice to ensure compliance with the VAT rules in the UK. The VAT rules for in-person conference attendance are that the CIEP must charge VAT irrespective of where in the world the attendee lives. However, businesses registered outside the UK may be able to reclaim UK VAT from HM Revenue & Customs. If you’re operating as a registered business outside the UK, we recommend that you speak to your accountant with regards to reclaiming the VAT you’ve paid for your in-person place at conference.
If you live outside of the UK, are a registered business and attend the conference online, then you should not be charged VAT. Our events platform is not currently able to distinguish which country you are purchasing your online ticket from, so it will charge VAT on these tickets. If this applies to you, please contact us by emailing [email protected] so we can issue a refund of the VAT paid once you have booked your ticket.
If you're a general consumer (someone who's not registered as a business, representing a business or attending for business reasons) then you will be charged VAT and we will not be able to repay this.
