Charging VAT on the renewal process

Hi nick_Anag 

 

More specifically, our resellers would like to understand why Microsoft charged VAT on the renewal amount of the Action pack. Is the tax going to be refunded due to intra-Community transactions or has something changed in the billing process?

 

Since VAT = value added tax exemption, there is no VAT charge. To clarify, do you mean that taxes were charged at renewal?

 

If so, here are some points to consider:

 

Did you submit the VATID after the account was setup?  If so, when the VATID is submitted after account setup, your invoices prior to that request won't have a VAT ID stamped on the invoice PDF, and you will be charges on your next billing cycle. In this case, you'll need to update your account by following the steps in the link below.

Did you file a tax exemption for each CSP tenant? You must file for each CSP tenant -Regional taxes and tax exemptions - Partner Center | Microsoft Learn
