Partner Blog | Grow your business with updated partner benefits
You asked, we listened. Your updated partner benefits are here. Microsoft is excited to announce big changes to our benefits offerings that better align with partner needs. Today, we’re adding more than 25 in-demand product licenses to many of our partner benefits offerings to give you access to the latest innovations across the Microsoft Cloud. These updated licenses include several Microsoft 365 Copilot products, Power Apps Premium, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and Microsoft GitHub—all of which empower your organization with intelligent collaboration, actionable insights, and robust security. This move is part of our larger commitment to evolving the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program to help Microsoft, our partners, and our shared customers continue to lead the way and accelerate the shift to AI to realize programmatic outcomes. As part of this commitment, Microsoft no longer offers Microsoft Action Pack, Microsoft Learning Action Pack, or legacy silver or gold benefits for purchase or renewal. If you renewed your benefits before January 22, 2025, you may keep those benefits until their anniversary date. Partners who have eligible active legacy silver or legacy gold benefits as of January 21, 2025 will be eligible for the remainder of the FY25 Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) incentive term, which runs through September 30, 2025. All partners can access partner benefits packages, which contain updated benefits designed to accelerate your growth and fit your business needs. Partners who provide software are encouraged to explore ISV Success, which provides additional benefits that help expand your development capabilities and accelerate your time to market. Depending on your business growth and goals, you may also choose to pursue a Solutions Partner designation or specialization, both of which provide you with a portfolio of tailored benefits to help you differentiate your organization to customers in a competitive market.

Charging VAT on the renewal process
Dear community, I hope you are all doing great! We are an Ind. Provider in CSP located in Greece (EU) and we would like to highlight a query coming from our partners/resellers. 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? Thank you in advance for your prompt reply on this matter that bothers our partners who require our immediate response. Best regards, Nick
