In order to properly reflect the retirement of your CSR plastic credit as you progress, it is only possible to link 1 (one) CSRnow.com account to one Ethereum blockchain address.
The CSR Retirement is CSR holders' decision to remove the CSR in their possession from the circulation, thus confirming the end of the plastic waste recycling process.
As part of the process, an individual or company sends (using the retirement process on CSRnow.com) CSR from their Blockchain CSR Wallet (often referred to as a MetaMask Wallet or Trustwallet) to the CSR Retirement vault.
Once CSR is sent to the CSR Retirement vault it is forever removed from circulation - it cannot be accessed, reversed or retrieved by anyone.
Upon completion of the CSR Retirement a CSR Retirement Certificate is produced and can be downloaded from CSRnow.com as confirmation of the CSR Retirement.
The visibility setting for CSR Retirements is by default set to Private.
You can set the visibility of the CSR Retirement in the “Retirement of CSR” menu by opening an individual retirement event.
There you can choose to set the setting to Private, Restricted or Public.
Note, chosen setting will apply to all individual retirement events.
You can learn more about the Retirement process at the Tutorial page on https://csrnow.com/content/learnings/tutorials/.
By default the name on the CSR Retirement certificate and/or Hall of Fame displays the name of the account holder.
If you wish to display a Company Name instead, you can change this setting under the “Member > My Profile” menu. There are fields where you can insert the Company Name, URL and upload the company logo.
Check the tick-box next to “Display company name instead of account holder name” and click “Save” to display the company name on the certificate.
Upon refreshing the browser the changes will appear on certificates and on the Hall of Fame.
You may save / stake your CSR at the Company’s vault and earn additional CSR. At the moment you can save your CSR for 6 or 12 months.
Please note, CSR savings period commences once Your CSR allocation reaches its delivery order. Until then you are able to cancel or change the desired savings period.

This is not an issue with CSRnow.com.
This issue usually happens because of the way in which exchanges track and recognise transactions:
Bulk Distribution: When we send CSR to many people at once (bulk distribution), it’s different from usual single transactions. Some exchanges are not set up to recognise these bulk sends properly.
Exchange Rules and Tech: Some exchanges just don’t accept deposits from bulk distribution contracts due to their own rules or technical limits.
This is why you confirm that you are not requesting a withdrawal to a deposit address of an exchange as part of the withdrawal process.
This is not an issue with CSRnow.com.
This issue usually happens because of the way in which exchanges track and recognise transactions:
Bulk Distribution: When we send CSR to many people at once (bulk distribution), it’s different from usual single transactions. Some exchanges are designed to identify and credit, one-to-one transactions only. So, when they get CSR from a bulk distribution, they might not record it correctly and think it’s not a real token.

The Reverse Charge moves the responsibility for the recording of a VAT transaction from the us as the seller to you as the buyer.
How does the Reverse Charge work?
When the Reverse Charge is applied you, the recipient of make the declaration of both purchase (input VAT) and the our sale (output VAT) in your VAT return. In this way, the two entries cancel each other from a cash payment perspective in the same return.From the authorities’ point of view, they can see the transaction reported in the special boxes provided in the returns for cross border supplies of goods or services.
Where did the Reverse Charge come from?
The Reverse Charge mechanism was created when the European Union Value Added Tax system was reformed for the launch of the single market in 1993, to help simplify the VAT reporting across the 27 member states.

If you require additional information or support in connection with Reverse Charge or any other financial matter you should refer to your financial advisors.
