VAT Regulations
Due to VAT regulations set out by the European Union, and specifically by Portugal, we are legally obliged to charge 23% Portuguese VAT on all in-person delegate registration fees regardless of the company’s country of origin or VAT registration status.
In some cases where an exhibition booth is requested, Portuguese VAT may or may not apply. Likewise, for sponsorship, Dutch VAT at 21% may or may not apply.
