I pay for a number of online services monthly. Some are in UK, Denmark, France etc. Looking at the invoices, I notice I am paying their local VAT rate on the service. Why is this? I can't charge VAT when I am charging a company outside Ireland in the EU so why is the reverse true?

Can I claim this VAT back when doing a VAT3 return? If not can I claim it back at all?
 
My understanding is that you must charge VAT on exports to other EU countries , except where the buyer has a VAT number.


If you provide them with your VAT number, they should not charge you VAT.
