Informação de impostos

AFRINIC Ltd is Value Added Tax (VAT) registered in Mauritius.

As seguintes regras de IVA se aplicam aos nossos membros para as taxas de associação:

• Non Mauritian members: No VAT is chargeable on output
• Mauritius members: VAT is chargeable on output

Observe que o AFRINIC não interfere com os regulamentos fiscais locais do país de origem do membro.

For new members the first invoice is sent as soon as AFRINIC has received the membership form, signed RSA and where applicable, the relevant allocation request (see "Procedure to become LIR/member" for more details).

For existing members invoices are sent annually at the beginning of November via courier to the billing address as stated in the registration form. A copy of the invoice is also sent by e-mail to the billing contact. Payment is due 30 days after date of invoice.

To ensure invoices and correspondences are received by members, by prior arrangement, it is possible to be billed half-yearly or quarterly for LIR fees (Not applicable to Membership-Only fee). This must be requested before the invoice for the year of issue is sent (i.e. before the 1st November). In this case, an extra USD 75 service charge applies to each invoice. Note that during a billing year, it is not possible to change the billing scheme.

To make sure the invoices and reminders arrive at the finance department of the member, it is important to keep the data up-to-date in our database. It is the responsibility of the Member/LIR to inform AFRINIC Finance Department of any changes to the billing address or billing contact by contacting billing [at] AFRINIC dot net

The Member will be held liable for late payment as a result of incorrect billing details. A copy of the registry file can be requested by contacting billing [at] AFRINIC dot net. Por favor, note - Se uma associação terminar no decorrer do ano financeiro da AFRINIC, a taxa anual para esse registro ainda deve ser paga integralmente.

Possibilidades de pagamento
