VAT and Invoice Information
Per Article 53 of Directive 2006/112/EC, the registration fee is subject to VAT applicable in the country where the event is held. This applies to in-person participation, even for taxable persons. In Croatia, a 25% VAT charge is added to registration fees where applicable. This rate is subject to change based on Croatian tax regulations.
It's essential to ensure the accuracy of your invoice address before completing registration, as no changes can be made once invoices are issued. For EU companies/institutions, to comply with VAT directives and avoid complications, your VAT number must be officially recognized by the EU Taxation and Customs Union office. If your company/institution is not VAT registered or the VAT number is not recognized by VIES, the VAT amount will be added to your invoice and is non-refundable. The organizer cannot be held responsible for VAT refund issues or non-provided VAT numbers.
Paper Registration
Please include your paper number during registration. Each paper accepted for publication in the proceedings must have at least one co-author registered as a participant. A participant may register up to two papers.
