Why is VAT charged on foreign country invoices

I am in South Africa but got charged VAT in USA dollars.

 

Either you need to provide prices including VAT or stipulate that your prices are excluding VAT.  I do think this is unprofessional and underhanded.

    Hey Enid Pretorius, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

     

    The tax you pay for your Dropbox subscription depends on the billing zip code or country associated with your account.

     

    You can read more about this in our help center.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions.

      The USA does not charge VAT but yet you charge VAT to foreign countries - Are you registered as a VAT vendor in that country?

       

      If so I would like your VAT number so that I can claim the VAT back here in my country
