Information about VAT (EU)

Monta’s platform is built with a proprietary wallet system that processes all transactions and applies Value Added Tax (VAT) in accordance with applicable laws and regulations across the jurisdictions in which we operate. There are both transactions where Monta acts as the supplier to our customers and transactions where Monta facilitates sales between customers using the platform, for example drivers and charge point owners.

Monta’s platform processes millions of transactions every month. To ensure consistency, accuracy, and compliance at scale, VAT is determined through a fully automated model built into our wallet system. This model cannot be manually altered to accommodate individual requests or case-specific exceptions. The VAT outcome for any transaction is determined by the underlying transaction data—such as the type of supply, the geographical location of the sale (for example, the charge point), and the VAT registration status of the parties involved. This ensures that VAT is applied uniformly and in accordance with local and EU tax requirements.

To enable correct VAT treatment, business customers must provide complete and accurate company information, including a valid VAT number, in the Monta Hub. If such information is missing or inaccurate, VAT may be applied incorrectly.

Customers who resell electricity to their own end users must inform Monta so their accounts can be configured appropriately. Under EU VAT legislation, entities purchasing electricity for onward sale are classified as taxable dealers and are typically subject to a 0% reverse charge mechanism. Monta treats all roaming e-Mobility Service Providers (EMSPs) as taxable dealers by default, as they generally buy electricity for resale. Customers who wish to be treated differently must notify Monta explicitly and provide sufficient documentation to support their position.

Monta applies VAT strictly based on customer-provided information and in line with professional tax advice and applicable legislation. Each customer remains responsible for ensuring the accuracy of their VAT registration details and for complying with local tax obligations. Monta accepts no liability for incorrect VAT treatment resulting from incomplete, inaccurate, or unreported information.
