How do I get a VAT refund?
During the upgrade process, you can add your company address and VAT ID. Our payment processor Paddle handles all the VAT and other sales taxes, so if you're eligible, no VAT will be charged on your subscription.
If you haven't added your company details during the subscription process, you can open the invoice that Paddle sent you and click on the "Add address & VAT Number" link to do so.
More information about Paddle and the sales taxes or VAT can be found here.
How to add company details to the invoice?
If you haven't added your company details during the subscription process, you can open the invoice that Paddle sent you and click on the "Add address & VAT Number" link to do so. Your invoices are also available in the Billing & usage section at the bottom of the site. They are also sent to your email address after every transaction.
How to change my company details or VAT number?
You can change the company address yourself by opening your invoice and clicking the "Edit business address".
Unfortunately, changing a country associated with a subscription isn't possible due to legal and tax reasons. Suppose you wish to link the service to a company registered in a different country. You can wait until the current subscription expires, then cancel the subscription and resubscribe again from the same account with the address in the new country. You won't lose any of the data in this process.
If the button is not available, or you have any troubles with changing the address, please contact the Paddle support directly at [email protected] or use the chat widget on the Paddle website.

Can I switch to yearly billing?
Yes, you can do it by yourself on the upgrade plan page or contact support to do so. In some rare cases, due to 3DS authentication made by Paddle.com (our payment provider), we won't be able to charge your card with a different amount. In such a situation, we will need to cancel your current subscription and start a new one. When you make a change to your plan, it goes into effect immediately and you are billed a prorated amount based on your new plan and billing cycle.
