If your business is in Egypt, learn how HubSpot handles Value Added Tax (VAT). You can also update HubSpot with your VAT-related information.

What is VAT?

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax that is chargeable on most supplies of goods and services consumed in Egypt.

Why am I being charged VAT?

HubSpot is registered for VAT in Egypt as it supplies electronic services to customers. It is therefore required to charge and collect VAT at the prevailing rate to all customers who are not registered for VAT.

How does HubSpot determine which customers Egypt VAT applies to?

If your primary shipping address is Egypt, and you are not VAT registered, then you will be charged VAT. Learn how to check what your primary company address is set to in HubSpot.

Which HubSpot services are liable for VAT?

All HubSpot’s services are considered liable to VAT.

How do I prove that I am a VAT registered business customer?

A Tax Registration Number (TRN) is a unique number assigned to businesses by the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) for tax purposes. A TRN identifies a customer as a resident registered taxpayer in Egypt. Once a valid TRN number is added to your account, HubSpot will not add a VAT charge to your invoice

Please note: you may be required to self account for VAT through reverse charge mechanism. 

I am VAT registered in Egypt, will I still be charged VAT?

If you have added your valid VAT number to your HubSpot account, your company will not be charged VAT. You may be required to self-account for VAT on the reverse charge basis.

Are there any exemptions under which VAT may not be charged?

If your company is exempt from being charged VAT then you will need to send HubSpot a valid exemption certificate and ensure that your company meets all exemption criteria. Exemption certificates should be sent to billing@hubspot.com for processing.
