VAT Information

The fees shown above exclude 22% VAT. The registration form shows the VAT-inclusive amount where VAT applies. VAT treatment depends on the invoice holder and payment details provided during registration.

When VAT Applies

VAT is due when the invoice is issued to an individual acting as a private person, whether Italian, EU, or non-EU.
VAT is due when the invoice is issued to an Italian university, through electronic invoicing.
If the invoice is issued to a university outside Italy, VAT is not required. For EU universities, a VAT registration number will be required.

VAT Exemption

Participants from EU countries excluding Italy, and from non-EU countries, should select the VAT exemption option during registration when one of the following applies:

The registration fee is paid with the university's credit card, not a personal card.
An advance invoice is required for the university and will be paid by the university via bank transfer.

Universities and companies in EU countries excluding Italy, and in non-EU countries, are subject to reverse charge rules. In those cases, the registration fee must be invoiced without VAT when the conditions above apply.

Cancellation Policy

In line with ACM's standard policy, registration fees are generally non-refundable.

The only exception applies to participants whose visa applications are denied. In such cases, a refund will be issued minus a processing fee.
