    We do not charge VAT or GST when you buy or allocate Skype Credit, so these transactions are not reflected on monthly VAT/GST invoices. Allocations of subscriptions or Skype Numbers are charged VAT or GST, so you will see these transactions recorded on monthly VAT/GST invoices.

    Your members’ transactions (Skype Credit usage for calls, SMS or Wi-Fi as well as purchases made with allocated Skype Credit) will incur VAT or GST if the registered billing address of the personal linked account is in a country where VAT or GST is applicable. Monthly VAT invoices for members’ transactions are available in certain countries. Learn more.

    Other Skype Manager reports are available on the admin dashboard.
