A Value Added Tax Identification Number or VAT Identification Number (VATIN) is an identifier used in many countries for value added tax purposes.

In the European Union, a VAT Identification Number can be verified online at the official EU VAT Information Exchange System (VIES) website.

Authorized resellers are automatically set up to pay by credit card. StarTech.com accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Typically, prepaid credit cards do not work.

Resellers on net terms can pay by purchase order number instead of by credit card. Resellers on credit card terms may enter a purchase order number as well, but will still be directed to provide credit card information. If you are an authorized reseller and want to apply for net terms, navigate to the Reseller Area on the website and complete the Reseller Credit Application form. Resellers on Net Terms may pay by Purchase Order number instead of by credit card. Resellers on Credit Card Terms may enter a Purchase Order number as well, but will still be directed to provide credit card information.

Note: For resellers on net terms, a late fee of 1.5% will be charged monthly for invoices that are 10 days beyond payment terms. In the event of a bounced cheque (NSF), resellers will be charged a $25 handling charge.

StarTech.com sends daily email or mail invoices to all of the resellers that are set up on net terms. In order to pay your net account, you must send a payment by a wire transfer or a cheque with the amount invoiced within a certain amount of time based on the net terms agreement.

Note: If a net terms account is not paid on time, orders placed may be held until the account is paid down.

If your company name changed but your tax ID is the same, StarTech.com requires a Letter of Amendment stating that the name of your company changed. You can send this document to [email protected] and the Customer Service Advisory Team will process the name change.

If your company name changed and you also have a new tax ID, you need to complete a new reseller application and upload your new tax certificate.

You have 90 days from the invoice date to initiate a stock rotation.
