## What it means for a shop owner

It may apply to some services, fees or contracts. The payer gives you a certificate of what was withheld so you can offset it against your tax. Rules and rates differ widely between countries.

## A worked example

A service invoice of 1000 has 5 percent withheld. The client pays you 950 and sends 50 to the authority.
