# Guidance on VAT estimation

**Some guidance on how VAT is estimated on the platform:**

**Non VAT registered suppliers:** Are not assumed to be liable for charging VAT so VAT will not be present on invoices

**VAT registered suppliers:** VAT will be added based on the local country guidelines provided by suppliers. VAT registered buyers will be provided with the VAT number of the supplier and may be able to claim this back.

**Intra Community Supplies:** Where both parties are members of an EC country and VAT registered, no VAT will be added to the item invoice. The VAT number of both parties will be included on the invoice.
