Digital Nomads by nature are workers, freelancers and entrepreneurs. All different types of business travellers.
Many countries exempt foreign businesses and business travellers from having to pay VAT/GST/Sales Tax on their travel.
VAT/GST is by nature a tax on individuals much more than businesses so there can be some real cost advantages for business travellers.
By showing Stays and tax authorities that you are a business with a registered business number from somewhere in the world you could reduce the price of your travel and accommodation by a lot.
Some Booking Options / Countries Not Available Without Business Tax Number
Some countries also insist on global platforms like Nomad Stays to report and tax private citizen bookings but not business travellers.
As we strive to keep your nomad travel costs down we don’t offer some services and features in some high-cost countries to private travellers but do offer them to business travellers.
Is the Business Number Confidential?
No, business information numbers or VAT/GST/Sales Tax numbers are public numbers. In fact many countries offer the ability for people to check for valid numbers online.
Business Information Numbers should not be confused with your personal income tax number, which should remain secret.
