1. What reverse-charge means
Under the EU reverse-charge mechanism, Topolab invoices you with 0% VAT and you account for the VAT yourself in your own country's return. The invoice carries the note “VAT reverse-charged” and both VAT numbers.
2. Add your VAT number
Go to /portal/billing and add your VAT number under Tax details. We validate it against VIES in real time; once it's verified, all future invoices switch to reverse-charge automatically.
Netherlands-based?Dutch customers are charged 21% VAT as normal, reverse-charge only applies to cross-border B2B sales within the EU.
