VAT-exempt invoices and payments for Todoist

If your personal workspace is on the Todoist Pro plan, or if your team workspace is on the Todoist Business plan, learn how to get VAT exemption for payments made through the Todoist website.

If you upgraded to a paid plan through an in-app purchase with Apple or Google, contact the appropriate vendor to request a VAT refund.

About VAT for the Pro plan

For customers paying in USD and CAD, taxes like VAT are calculated and added at checkout. However, for EU-based customers, we set a consistent price of €48 for everyone. Apart from making sure pricing is predictable, you'll always pay exactly what you see on our pricing page.

Here's a breakdown:

• No VAT ID: the upgrade is €48 and your invoice displays the words tax included. For example, with 20% VAT, €8 is collected as VAT and remitted to the appropriate tax authorities.
• With a VAT ID: the upgrade is €48 and your invoice displays the words reverse charge. This means no VAT is charged on your invoice; instead, it's handled separately based on your country’s tax regulations. With your VAT ID, your business both reports and reclaims this tax amount per your local tax laws.
