A private community, an AI assistant and live, no-fluff masterclasses - for professionals who work with EU VAT and CJEU case law. Founded by Paweł Mikuła, VAT advisor, author, lecturer, academic, and representative in the European Commission's VAT Expert Group.
From our survey of 78 VAT professionals across Europe and beyond — in their own words:
"Missing an important piece of (VAT) law that can change the interpretation of a case I deal with."
"Having to deal with compliance and not enough time to read ECJ :)"
"I have no one to discuss complex doubts with."
The room where serious VAT minds compare notes. Advisors, in-house indirect tax leads and academics from across Europe and beyond. Ask what you can't ask anywhere else — Paweł is in the room.
Your second pair of eyes on EU VAT. Instantly. Sourced answers, already tested by ~150 professionals. It's an early-access version that members help shape; fair-use rules apply and query limits may be introduced to keep it fast for everyone.
Watch a 3-minute demoShort. Dense. No three-hour webinars. 20-30 minutes, in CET - always recorded. First already on the calendar: “Fixed Establishment: the 12 Questions” and another one we will announce soon.
Recurring VAT problems - solved, to the point. A growing library of short, practical write-ups.
€399/year - price-locked*. The regular price will be €690. Yours stays frozen for as long as you remain a member - and will never be offered again.
A real vote on the roadmap. Founding Members formally decide what we build next - especially the AI tools.
The CJEU case-law search engine - included when it ships. If the Club takes off, this is what we build next, and Founding Members get it at no extra cost. Your membership funds exactly this.
VAT advisor and attorney-at-law:
"I don't want VATvocate to stay a content project. I want it to become the place where serious VAT professionals actually work together."
For context: less than one day at a VAT conference - about one hour of senior advisory work.
Prices exclude VAT (calculated at checkout; reverse charge for EU businesses with a valid VAT number). Founding membership is annual-only.
The 50-founder threshold The Club launches only if at least 50 founding members join by 30 June. If not - full, automatic refund for everyone. You're not betting on a dead forum.
30 days, no questions Even after launch, you have 30 days to look around and walk away with a full refund.
If your VAT system borrows from the EU playbook - GCC, Western Balkans, candidate countries - yes: CJEU doctrine is your reference model. If you work exclusively with US sales & use tax - no.
As little as one good answer a month. No homework; sessions are recorded, briefs take minutes.
It's early access and we say so openly. Answers come with sources - and with a human second line: the forum and Paweł. Fair-use rules apply, and query limits may be introduced as usage grows (always announced in advance).
Full, automatic refund and the Club doesn't launch.
Yes - proper invoice, most members use a training budget. Ready-made approval email above.
No - it's knowledge exchange between professionals. Community guidelines require anonymising client details.
The window closes for good: €690/year, and the founding privileges are never offered again.
