Update Your Agency Tax ID in Sparkforge for Billing Compliance

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Add or update your agency Tax ID under Agency Settings > Billing > Payments. Pick the correct regional Tax ID type, enter the number, and save. Valid VAT IDs may exempt EU/UK businesses via reverse charge.

Sparkforge captures Tax ID numbers globally to meet tax obligations on subscriptions and renewals. If your business has a Tax ID, add it so the right tax treatment applies — including VAT reverse charge for eligible EU/UK businesses.

VAT for EU, UK, Norway, and Turkey

If you're located in the EU, Norway, Turkey, or the UK, VAT is added to your purchases (subscriptions, renewals) and shown as a separate invoice line item.

VAT exemption

Registered businesses may be exempt from VAT (reverse charge) on future purchases by entering a valid VAT ID under Agency Settings > Billing > Payments.

Update your Tax ID

  1. Go to Agency Settings > Billing > Payments.
  2. Click Edit next to Tax ID.
  3. In the Tax ID popup, choose the Tax ID type for your region.
  4. Enter the Tax ID number.
  5. Click Save.

Check the I do not have a Tax ID box if:

  • Your Tax ID isn't in the list below
  • You don't have a Tax ID
  • You don't want to disclose your Tax ID

If you have multiple Tax IDs (for example, Canadian ca_bn, ca_gst_hst, and ca_pst_bc), contact support to confirm which one to enter. The widest-coverage ID is usually preferred — for that Canadian example, ca_gst_hst exempts both HST and PST.

Choosing the correct Tax ID type

Tax ID types are at the regional level. Once you pick the right region, Sparkforge maps your number to the country-level Tax ID type automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I update my Tax ID?
Agency Settings > Billing > Payments. Click Edit next to Tax ID, pick the regional Tax ID type, enter the number, and save.
Will entering a VAT ID exempt me from VAT?
In the EU, UK, Norway, and Turkey a valid VAT ID may apply reverse charge to future purchases, removing VAT from your invoices.
What if I have multiple Tax IDs for the same country?
Contact Sparkforge support — they'll confirm which ID covers the most exemptions. For Canada, ca_gst_hst is usually the right pick because it covers HST and PST.
What if my country isn't on the list?
