If you run a VAT-registered business, adding your VAT number to Printumo makes sure your invoices are issued correctly, and for most EU businesses it removes VAT from your Printumo orders entirely through the reverse charge mechanism.
Step 1: Open Your Billing Page
Log in to Printumo and click "Billing" in the menu.
Find the "Billing Address" section at the top of the page.
Step 2: Enter Your Company Details and VAT Number
Enter your registered business name in the "Company name" field.
Enter your VAT number in the "VAT ID" field, including the country code (for example DE123456789 or GB123456789).
Fill in the rest of your billing address and click "Save billing address".
EU VAT numbers are checked automatically against VIES, the EU's official VAT register. If the register is temporarily unavailable, your address still saves: a correctly formatted number is never blocked.
What Changes Once Your VAT Number Is Saved
Reverse charge for EU businesses: if your business is VAT registered in an EU country other than Denmark, most orders are invoiced at 0% VAT under the reverse charge mechanism, and you account for the VAT in your own VAT return instead. Orders delivered to the UK, Canada, Australia and the US still include local tax: see Why was tax charged on my Printumo order?
Complete invoices: your company name and VAT number appear on every Printumo invoice, which you will need for bookkeeping and VAT reporting.
Smoother deliveries to Canada: for orders shipped to Canada, your company name and tax number are added to the customs paperwork, which helps prevent your customer being charged GST a second time on delivery.
Good To Know
Printumo is a Danish company, so Danish businesses are always charged 25% Danish VAT: the sale is domestic and the reverse charge does not apply. If you are VAT registered in Denmark, you can normally deduct this as input VAT.
An order's VAT treatment is fixed at the moment it is charged. Adding your VAT number later does not change invoices that have already been issued, so save it before you start placing orders.
