Customers based in Ireland and private customers in the European Union pay LinkedIn VAT.
LinkedIn VAT is charged at 20% which is UK VAT, not 23% Irish VAT. LinkedIn do now display a UK VAT number (starting with GB)
This shows VATMOSS in full flow, where although a service is sold from another country, the VAT is charged in the country of the customer.
To prevent the VAT charge, you can provide your VAT number to LinkedIn. It’s really straightforward, you can find it in your billing information. There’s even a step by step guide on how to enter your details.
