I am a VAT payer in Slovakia or another EU country. Why do you issue an invoice including VAT?
We are required to issue you an invoice including VAT, although you usually receive a tax-free invoice for cross-border transactions. This is because for educational events, the place of performance is the place where the event takes place.
It is thus necessary to pay VAT at this point - at the Marketing Festival, ie in the Czech Republic (Section 16, Paragraph 3 of Act 222/2004 Coll., On Value Added Tax).
Subsequently, however, you can apply for it back to the Czech Tax Office for the Capital City of Prague if the amount of VAT exceeds EUR 50 per calendar year.
