I entered my VAT. Why is tax charged on the invoice anyway?

If you do not enter a VAT number or enter an incorrect VAT number, we will send you an invoice including the VAT applicable in your country. In this case, we will deduct the VAT for you via the MOSS procedure.

If you update your VAT registration number after the invoice has been issued, it will be taken into account in the next invoice.

Here you can check the validity yourself.
