EU and VAT

Dear customers,

Since there is always a lack of clarity as to when VAT is calculated, here is a brief overview:

1. Since we are based in Germany, all orders within Germany are currently subject to 19% VAT.
2. Deliveries within the EU (but outside of Germany) are:
   a) Calculated at 0% if a valid sales tax identification number is provided. To do this, you must enter a valid sales tax identification number (UstId) at the delivery address (reverse charge regulation).
   b) without a valid sales tax identification number, the VAT of your country (standard rate) will be charged (one-stop shop regulation).
3. Deliveries outside the EU, e.g. Switzerland, are charged 0% VAT. However, customs will then collect and charge you the import sales tax.
4. In general, the delivery address is the basis, not the billing address.
