Trying to work out vat treatment of squarespace fees.
I have defaulted to looking at their website which is super sketchy as it mentions being eligible for vat exemption in your particualr country. That really makes no sense to me - would i be correct in assuming this is a very poor way of asking bods to confirm they are a uk business entity and supliess will be subject to reverse charge once flagged on their systems?
second point does anyone know if the default vat type for their standard transactions fees are exempt bank fees (ala paypal) or standard rated fees for services provided (ala go cardless?)
There is decent chance i may be missing something fundamental here - eg i am presuming square are not uk vat registered ref services they provide to buisness customers.
cheers

Verify your exemption (EU, UK, and Norway)
If you run a site for a business in the EU, UK, or Norway and are exempt from VAT collection, follow these steps. You’ll need:
Your business name
Your VAT Registration Number or Norwegian Organization Number

It looks like supplies made by squarespace to UK business customers are subject to the Reverse Charge. They describe this as VAT 'exemption.'
'bank fees' covers a range of services, not all being exempt. It might be prudent to treat as taxable Reverse Charge supplies.
