Business use and licence purchase in EU

[mrak]

Is it possible to purchase an Affinity Designer software directly from Serif as a business entity?

 

I bought AD in the App Store. I received an invoice but containing the data of the individual because App Store is only for personal use.

I contacted their support team. There is no possibility of obtaining an invoice containing EU TAX ID of the buyer and the buyer company name. So I have to pay VAT twice and as a bonus I have a few accounting problems.

 

I think that this problem may affects many businesses in the EU.

 

We plan to buy more AD & AP licenses for our employees and use the software in business operations. How to do it if we want to have a correct invoice?

Besides, these are very good applications.

Hi Mrak,

 

Welcome to the forums :)

 

While it is not possible to purchase the app from us directly, it is possible to purchase business licences through Apple's Volume Licensing Program.

Hi, 

 

Unfortunately my country is not listed so we cannot purchase licences through Volume Licensing Program  :(

 

The software license from app store also I think don't allow business use..

Hi Mrak,

 

Unfortunately because all of our sales are done through Apple there is not much we can do. Sorry!

Ok, I understand that.

Sad, but true, it looks that we can not legally buy and use your software in our work.
