Subject: All fees include 19% VAT?

Folks,

I am a little confused by the following words. The sum for an early bird is 650$, right? Or do we need to pay extra VAT (which make the sum larger than 650$)? The last sentence is really confusing.

Early-Bird: $650 USD, if paid in full prior to 2400 UTC July 19, 2013.
All fees include 19% VAT
A FINAL receipt will be sent with all the required VAT information by July 28th. Instructions will be included on the process to follow to recover the VAT paid by qualified attendees or their employer.

Regards,
Shucheng (Will)

The vat is included. $650 is what you're paying and what the bill will 
be for.
