IN EUROPE, WHAT DOES VAT NUMBER MEAN?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax on final consumption of certain goods and services in the home market, and it is collected at each stage of production and distribution. When an organization registers with the government for VAT purposes it is issued a VAT number. Your company Finance Department can provide you with this number. Please include your VAT number in the repair request documentation so that 3Com can invoice you correctly for the repair.
