Coverage
B2B Transactions
For business customers in VAT jurisdictions, Suby supports reverse charge mechanisms where applicable. When a customer provides a valid VAT ID at checkout, the transaction is treated as a B2B sale and the reverse charge is applied automatically.What You Remain Responsible For

It does not cover your own income tax or corporate tax obligations in your jurisdiction.You remain responsible for declaring and paying your own income and corporate tax. If you have specific questions about how taxes apply to your business, consult a tax advisor or contact the Suby team.
