EU VAT
Modified on Mon, 22 Jul at 2:18 PM
Asana customers will be charged VAT or GST in certain jurisdictions as a result of legislation which requires overseas companies who provide digital services, such as Asana, to collect VAT or GST.
Certain jurisdictions do not require VAT or GST to be charged when customers are registered for VAT or GST purposes. Such customers should provide their VAT or GST registration numbers to Asana to ensure that they are not charged VAT or GST.

EU VAT is charged based on the Sold To country address in your customer profile.
This includes all 27 Member States in the EU:
- Austria
- Belgium
- Bulgaria
- Croatia
- Cyprus
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- Estonia
- Finland
- France (including Monaco for the purposes of VAT)
- Germany
- Greece
- Hungary
- Ireland
- Italy
- Latvia
- Lithuania
- Luxembourg
- Malta
- Netherlands
- Poland
- Portugal
- Romania
- Slovakia

EU VAT - Rates
Asana is registered under the Non-Union One Stop Shop “OSS”.
Under OSS, Asana will be required to charge VAT at the rate applicable to your location, unless a valid VIES VAT number intra-community VAT number/ID is provided.
The “Sold To” address associated with the customer account is then used to determine whether a customer is located in the EU, and if so, in which EU country.
VAT - Exemptions
Once confirmed in the VIES database, if you provide a valid VAT number you will not be charged VAT. You may, however, have obligations to report the purchase under the reverse-charge mechanism.
EU VAT - Charities and nonprofit organizations
Generally, most charities will not be registered for EU VAT purposes as they do not have business operations. As such, if the organization is not registered, VAT may still be charged on purchases from Asana.
EU VAT - Article 151 exemption
The EU VAT Directive provides an exemption to certain international and diplomatic bodies under Article 151 of the directive.
If you qualify for the exemption, you will be issued written documentation indicating tax exempt status from the tax authority in the EU member state within which you are registered for VAT. It is necessary that you forward this documentation to Asana’s Support team for review.
Alternatively, you may be eligible for a VAT refund directly from your local tax authority.
