Understanding VAT on Bit Apps Purchases

How Taxes Are Handled

We use Paddle as our official payment processor. Paddle acts as the Merchant of Record, which means:

• All applicable VAT or tax is calculated and handled by Paddle.
  
  
• The final price shown on our product page already includes any required VAT.
  
  
• You don’t pay anything extra—Paddle internally deducts and processes taxes as required by your country’s laws.
  
  

👉 In short, Bit Apps covers the VAT for you. You’re never charged more than the price listed.

For example: If a product is listed at $49, you pay exactly $49.

If your country requires VAT, Paddle calculates it from within that amount—you won’t be charged a cent more.

We put together this simple guide to help you:
✔ Learn how to add your VAT number during checkout.
✔Learn how to add your VAT number after purchasing

Should I Add MY VAT Number?

Absolutely yes—if you're a business or VAT-registered entity, we strongly encourage you to add your VAT or TIN (Tax Identification Number) during checkout or immediately after purchase.

Why is this important?

Because according to Paddle’s tax rules, if you don’t add your VAT number, the VAT amount will be deducted from Bit Apps’ account.

Why Should You Add Your VAT Number?

• Helps with proper invoicing
  
• Ensures compliance with your local tax regulations
  
• Keeps your records business-ready
  

It’s optional, but adding your VAT number helps ensure transparency and makes it easier for Paddle to issue a tax-compliant invoice. That’s why we highly recommend you to include your VAT number whenever possible—it makes everything smoother for everyone involved.

Here’s a quick guide on how to add your VAT number during checkout. And if you forget to add it, no worries—we also provide an option to update your VAT information after the purchase.

1. How to Add My VAT Number During Checkout?

This is so easy, just use your email, name, country, and postal code and go forward. Proceed to check as usual.

Now you are on the 2nd page. Click on “Add ABN” as I select Australia. For Canada, it is called BN and for India, it is called GSTIN. In different countries, it comes up with different names. 

2. How to Add Your VAT Number After Purchasing

Once you complete your purchase, you receive an invoice from Paddle via email. This invoice includes a link labeled:
“Add address and VAT number.”

Here’s how to use it:

1. Open the invoice email from Paddle.
   
2. Click the “Add address and VAT number” link.

       3. You’ll be taken to a form.

       4. At the top of the form, check the box that says:
     “This is a business purchase.”

       5. Once checked, a new field appears: “VAT number.”

       6. Enter your country-specific VAT/TIN number and complete the form.

Your invoice will now reflect your VAT number, along with your business billing information.
