VAT Information for European Residents
(Updated July 2025 – in alignment with Estonia’s tax framework)
📌 What Is VAT?
VAT (Value-Added Tax) is a consumption tax applied to most goods and digital services sold within the European Union (EU). If you reside in the EU and purchase a digital product like Osher’s AstroLive Charts, VAT is legally required and automatically calculated at checkout based on your country’s rate.
🇪🇪 Estonia’s Current VAT Rate
As of July 1, 2025, Estonia’s standard VAT rate is 24%.
This applies to all digital services sold by Estonian companies to EU customers.
Example:
If a LiveChart is listed at €100, and you're based in France, your final price will be €124 (inclusive of VAT).
🌍 Who Pays VAT?
-
EU Residents:
You will see VAT added automatically at checkout, in accordance with EU law. -
Non-EU Residents:
No VAT will be applied. You pay only the listed price. -
EU Businesses with VAT ID:
If you’re buying on behalf of a business with a valid VAT number, please contact us before purchase for a possible VAT-exempt invoice under the reverse-charge mechanism.
🔍 Can VAT Be Avoided?
VAT is not a penalty — it’s a structural part of the EU’s digital economy. However, we understand that:
-
Some individuals value sovereignty in how they access digital tools
-
Others live or operate nomadically, outside traditional systems
-
And many seek boundaryless methods to exchange value in today’s fluid world
If you're exploring off-platform alternatives or seeking more discreet payment solutions for symbolic tools like LiveCharts, we invite you to reach out.
We can’t promise exemption — but we can offer guidance toward conscious, compliant, and flexible pathways that respect your location, rhythm, and resonance.
