Collection of VAT for learners in the European Union (EU) & United Kingdom (UK)

Due to changes in our product offerings, effective January 1, 2026, CBT Nuggets commenced collecting and remitting applicable Value-Added Tax (VAT) from individual consumer customers located in the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK). 

Tax amount charged 

The amount of VAT charged depends on the individual purchaser's location. For purchasers in the UK, the standard VAT rate of 20% applies. For purchasers in the EU, the applicable VAT rate is based on the purchaser's country, as each EU member state sets its own VAT rate for digital services. The correct VAT amount will be calculated automatically during checkout based on your billing country.

Proving tax-exempt status 

All purchasers seeking exemption must submit certain information and/or documentation to CBT Nuggets as detailed below. 

Businesses located in the EU or the UK may qualify for a VAT exemption if they provide a valid VAT registration number before an invoice is issued. Your VAT number will be verified by our Sales and Finance teams, and if it is confirmed as valid, VAT will not be charged on your purchase. If a valid VAT number is not provided prior to invoicing, VAT will be applied based on the applicable rate for your billing country.

If you believe your organization qualifies for a VAT exemption, please contact our Sales team before completing your purchase or paying your invoice.

If you believe VAT has been charged in error on your purchase, please contact our Support team.
