Across the EU, trade fairs are regarded as cultural services and, as stipulated in the EU VAT Directive, are taxable in the country where they are supplied. The Eurobest Festival is held in Sweden, and therefore Swedish VAT must be charged on participation fees and sponsorship packages that include right to attend the festival.
 
Sweden has a reverse charge regulation, applicable to foreign companies that supply goods and services in Swedish territory. However, reverse tax liability does not apply to the sale of cultural services (and this definition includes trade fair services). This exemption from reverse liability also applies to organisers of such activities or of other activities connected to such.

Therefore, all clients who purchase trade fair services different from pure advertising (or other services listed in Article 56, 1 (a) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC) in connection with the Eurobest Festival, must pay Swedish VAT.
^

There are three VAT rates in Sweden – a standard rate of 25%, which is applicable to goods and services not qualifying for any reduced rate or exemption; 12% - for food and hotel accommodation, and 6% for newspapers, passenger transport, admission fees for cultural services (but not trade fairs). This list is not exhaustive.
^

Because according to the Swedish VAT legislation, the trade fair services attract Swedish VAT therefore Swedish VAT is payable by all consumers for those services.
^

You will have to go through a third party tax consultant, such as Tax Back International. In order to qualify for VAT refund, an enterprise must be VAT registered (in its home country or else). Terms and conditions apply of course, e.g. possession of original invoices.

Please send an email to vat@taxbackinternational.com and they will send you the necessary forms.

Eurobest Awards Ltd acts only as an intermediary for the Swedish tax authorities in collecting VAT from the consumers of the service. Eurobest Awards Ltd collects this VAT and transfers it to the Swedish tax authorities, therefore, requests for a refund of VAT should be presented before the Swedish Tax Authorities, and not to Eurobest Awards Ltd.
