How can we help you?

I have placed an order on Digistore24

Enter VAT ID or tax number

If your company is located within Europe, it is mandatory for you as a vendor/affiliate to provide Digistore24 with your VAT ID or tax number in order to receive payouts. The reason for this is that you as a vendor/affiliate are engaged in commercial activities, and Digistore24 cannot make payouts to private individuals whose registered office is in Europe. If you're wondering whether you need to provide your VAT ID or your tax number, you can find help here.

Tip
You can request your VAT ID, e.g., for Germany, free of charge from the Federal Central Tax Office: You can find all the necessary information here.. For all other European countries, please contact your tax advisor.  

Enter VAT ID or tax number?

For vendors/affiliates with their registered office in Europe:

  • If you're a small entrepreneur according to section 19 of the German VAT Act, and are therefore not liable to pay VAT, enter your tax number under Account > Details and select small entrepreneur as the tax regulation. Follow the steps below.
  • If you are liable to pay VAT, enter your VAT ID under Account > Details and select liable for VAT as the tax regulation. Follow the steps below.

Your VAT ID is not accepted?

Due to German financial legislation, we are obliged to check the validity of the VAT IDs. For this reason, we only accept a VAT ID if the company data matches the officially stored data. The verification is done automatically using a software interface.
