VAT/GST Cost Estimator
Estimate your VAT/GST exposure for an in-person congress or event held abroad. Enter your event details and revenue/expense projections to get an indicative tax position.
Indicative estimates only — not tax advice. Rates and rules change frequently. Contact CTAX Solutions for a formal assessment before making compliance decisions. Most services sold to non-resident entities should be invoiced without EU VAT in most cases. It is always best practice to review supplier expenses as they are received to ensure that VAT was correctly charged.
