We make it easy for European businesses to keep their records compliant when working with Artelo. Below, you’ll find an overview of how VAT (Value Added Tax) works with your Artelo orders and how you can ensure your invoices include your VAT number.
How VAT Works for Artelo Orders
Artelo is a U.S.-based company. When we ship orders directly from the United States to the European Union, VAT is typically handled through import procedures in your country. For business-to-business (B2B) orders, VAT is often accounted for using the reverse charge mechanism, meaning:
Artelo does not collect VAT on your invoice.
You, as the VAT-registered business customer, self-account for VAT in your own country.
To correctly document this process, your VAT number must appear on your invoice. This ensures your accountant or tax authority has proper proof of the transaction and allows you to handle VAT obligations on your end.
Adding Your VAT Number in Artelo
To display your VAT number on every invoice, simply enter it in your Artelo account settings.
Here’s how:
Log in to your Artelo account.
Navigate to Settings > Tax Details
Under the VAT Number section, enter your valid VAT registration number.
Example:
IT06627680017
Click Save Changes.
Tip: Make sure the VAT number you enter is the official number registered to your business.
Once saved, your VAT number is securely stored in your account profile and will be added to all of your invoices.
