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. Since 1 August 2018 the subscription no longer forms 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.
