What is the situation in respect of “Withholding Tax” regarding the provision of Sofema Online training courses through www.sofemaonline.com?

Sofema Online (SOL) does not apply withholding tax directly. However, clients should be aware that local laws in their country may require them to deduct withholding tax when making payments to SOL, especially when the payment is cross-border.

The responsibility lies with the client making the payment, depending on their local tax regulations. It is advised to consult with a local tax expert or accountant to determine obligations.

The invoice issued by Sofema Online reflects the gross amount due. If withholding tax applies, the client must ensure the full invoice amount is remitted to SOL, net of any local deductions. Any shortfall due to withholding tax must be covered by the client.

Sofema Online can provide necessary documentation, such as proof of registration, tax identification, or other supporting materials, to assist clients in compliance with local withholding tax laws. Please email team@sassofia.com to request these documents. Note: For transactions below 1000 EUR, administrative charges will apply for this service.

Clients must ensure that:

- The gross amount on the invoice is received by Sofema Online.
- Any withholding tax amount deducted locally is settled in addition to the invoice payment.
