Why do I have to pay VAT?
Article 53 of the EU VAT Directive (2006/112/EC) deals with the business-to-business (‘B2B’) supply of services with respect to admission to cultural, artistic, sporting, scientific, educational, entertainment or similar events, such as fairs and exhibitions, and of ancillary services related to the admission. The place where VAT ought to be charged on such admission is the place where the event takes place. As Wirepas OPEN is held in Finland the place of supply is Finland. Therefore, we must add 24 % VAT to the price of the ticket that entitles to enter to the event. This is regardless of where your company is based.

What's included in the ticket price?
Access to 2 days of Wirepas OPEN seminar and evening event. Networking sessions and workshops. Food and Beverages for the two days during the event. And a midsummer celebration. Note, travel and accommodation are not included.
