    EDIT: more detail on that is that it's a foreign transaction as MS are Ireland based. If you provide them the VAT number they ermove the charge. Whether you should then 'fess up on your VAT returns I don't know, but if you've not been charged VAT I don't see why.
    ahhh i see. For the life of me I just can't find where to put the VAT number on my renewal.

        It's not for me. I had to edit the contact information then add the vat again. But the original order is still showing vat and it won't cancel so I can do a new renew order.

        This is not a great website.

          I'm not sure. My invoice says at the bottom ""VAT exempt Intra-EU delivery"

          It's 330GBP + 0% VAT

          That was in September

            Lance, thanks mate you saved me £70. I had to contact MS support to cancel the original order as cancel button doesn't do anything. Once that was done I could renew again and the VAT was removed. Owe you a pint.

              You need to understand how interstate vat works. He hasn’t really saved you a penny
              merely at clientco for the entertainment

                Hasn’t he, I can’t claim the vat back so I would be out by £70. Tell me what I’m missing

                  Check with your accountant to be sure you can claim. Personally I don't think that £70 is worth getting on the VATman radar.

                  MS stopped offering promo codes for it as of 30.06.2017.

                    £330 is what MAPS costs these days... ouch, I think I got mine for £200 when I last used it. But then they kept changing it and I couldn't be arsed, and realised I didn't need it anyway now VS is free for everything I require.
                    I assume it's still a massive bargain if you use even 10% of it?

                      Well you get a monthly azure credit (£70 though might have increased to £100) which more than covers the cost for me. Then along with Office licenses and Office 365 email (5 licenses) and operating systems etc, it's good value.

                      The first year I had a promo code which cut it down to around 200 ish.
