Why am I charged for VAT?
We know paying VAT (sale tax) sucks.
Sadly it’s European Union law to apply VAT at the point of purchase (the location of the customer). Including in many U.S. States.
We use ClickBank as our payment gateway (they’re based out of Boise, OH), and to adhere to U.S. & European laws, they are REQUIRED to collect VAT on sales of electronic services and electronic intangible products.
ClickBank currently collects and remits VAT on sales to customers in EU Member States, Norway, and Iceland (and select U.S. States).

We know it sucks to be forced to pay tax on online purchases; but it is the law in the some US states, throughout the European Union.
You can send an email toinvoice@clickbank.com with the order number, company details, and VAT ID. They will refund the VAT charges and send you VAT-compliant invoices for all payments.
