  • As a rule, 25% VAT should be indicated on invoices. However, there are a number of exceptions.

    For artists, when you invoice as a self-employed artist through Gigger, you must apply 25% VAT, according to the regulations Gigger follows. If your customer is a VAT-liable company, this does not affect this as the company has the right to offset input VAT against output VAT. If your customer is a private individual or association that is not required to account for VAT, the price will be 25% higher. Therefore, remember to state your price to private individuals and associations (including VAT) so that you receive the correct compensation.

    Gigger has an obligation to manually approve VAT-exempt invoices before they are sent out to customers. It must then be clearly stated which VAT exemption is applicable to the invoice, this is written in the text line of the invoice.
