VAT Tax charged in the European Union and other countries
We are required to charge the VAT (value added tax)
The European Union contacted us in 2022 and required that we, Discover Healing, register with them. We are working to obtain our own VAT numbers for each country, but some countries may take up to a year or more. In the meantime, we are required to charge the VAT tax now. Otherwise, we will incur heavy fines and possibly be banned from doing business in the EU. Even though Discover Healing is based out of the US, our attorneys that specialize in this also confirm there is no way to avoid collecting the VAT tax in order to sell to countries in the EU. It is important to note, the VAT tax is collected and paid to the country in the European Union that the customer resides in, not to the United States.
