As a company incorporated in the European Union, Hospitable charges Value Added Tax (VAT) to its European B2C customers, and pays VAT to your EU country of residence.
In order to ensure that we remain in compliance and apply the correct VAT rate to your invoice, we need to collect at least 2 pieces of evidence pointing to the country of your billing address. These are:
Your IP address should be located in the same country
The bank issuing your debit/credit card should be located in the same country
If you see the error message "Operation Failed as the EU Country Entered in Billing Address By Customer Cannot Be Verified Against IP Address or Card BIN Number," you'll need to make changes so that the above points match.
If you are using PayPal
PayPal does not contribute towards providing any evidence of your location. For this reason, you may be required to provide a debit/credit card issued by a bank in the country of your billing address.
Hosts Excluded from These Rules
Customers whose billing address and IP address are outside of the EU
Business customers from an EU member state with a valid VAT number that can be used within the EU
