Our catalogue of services for higher education
What's included in your subscription
Access to our core services is available via a Jisc subscription. This is separate from the Jisc Collections banding model - used to calculate the cost of products outside of the core services. In addition, there are optional services which are available at a cost. By becoming a member of our VAT-exempt cost sharing group you can save VAT on some of these.
Technology and infrastructure
We provide the HE sector with the Janet Network, advanced infrastructure services and collaboration platforms. Our unique suite of services enables close-knit communities of academics, researchers and students to connect and collaborate anytime, anywhere.

See what's included
Our projects are identified and explored in partnership with you. They cover a range of topics including:
Invoicing
You will be invoiced for your Jisc subscription in the autumn of each year. Until 31 July 2018, you will not be charged VAT on your subscription if you are a member of the VAT-exempt cost sharing group. From 1 August 2018 the subscription will no longer form part of the VAT-exempt cost sharing group and VAT will be charged as applicable.
For optional services (those outside of the Jisc subscription)
Some optional services will be VAT-exempt for members of Jisc's VAT-exempt cost sharing group. For those services where we have to charge VAT - you will be invoiced by a Jisc subsidiary company. In these circumstances you may receive an invoice from Jisc Collections or Jisc Services Limited.
