How is VAT applied on the website?

B2B users must indicate that they are “Company” customers and provide their VAT number when registering on the site or during the final stage of ordering.
This number is verified through VAT number verification systems, such as VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) for EU countries.
Once in your account, the site will show prices without VAT in the catalogue, and will only apply the correct VAT during the final stage of the order.

• If the buyer and seller are both registered in different EU countries and the buyer has provided a valid VAT number (compliant with VIES regulations), the transaction may be treated as VAT-free (reverse charge Art.41). In this case, the buyer is responsible for calculating and paying VAT in his own country.
• If the site does not recognise that the foreign VAT number is VIES-compliant (but it is), please contact us here.
• If the VAT number is not provided or is invalid (not VIES-compliant), VAT will be charged at the rate of the country of destination of the order.
• If the buyer and seller are in the same country, VAT will be applied as usual, following the standard rate of the country.
• For sales to non-EU countries, the invoice will show prices with zero VAT.
