Why do I need to pay VAT on my registration and how is it calculated?

The tax applicable on live online conference registrations is 20% UK VAT. It applies to all B2C customers other than Australia and Switzerland. If your company is VAT exempt as a UK B2B, EU B2B, or Non-EU B2B, or if you are registering from Australia or Switzerland, contact the Project Lead directly and provide your VAT number for them to raise an appropriate invoice.

Tax applied to on-demand only registrations dependent on your country of residence. The tax rules for the specific conference are outlined in the registration information on the conference website.

Physical attendee registrations are charged with the tax as appropriate for the country where the conference is being held. The country of VAT registration of our customers and/or VAT treatment of our customers' own goods/services do not impact the VAT treatment as applied on our invoices for these services.

For hybrid events, the physical attendee registrations are charged with the tax as appropriate for the country where the conference is being held, and the live online and on-demand and on-demand only are applicable for UK 20% tax.
