Whether or not you have to pay VAT (value added tax) depends on the shipping destination. If we have to ship your order to a country inside the EU then we are obliged to add VAT. If we have to ship your order to a country outside the EU then we don’t have to add VAT.
If you select a shipping destination outside the EU, then the website will automatically display the correct prices (excluding VAT).
If you have a valid European VAT number then you can enter it in the last step of your order, just before payment. The VAT number will be checked against the VIES database of the European Commission, and if the VAT number is valid then the VAT-amount will be automatically subtracted (this is called an intra–community delivery).
If in doubt, check the VAT test article: The price should be shown as € 1.21 incl. VAT (€ 1.00 excl. VAT) if you select a ship to country within the EU. 21% VAT is charged for delivery inside the EU.
The price of the VAT test article should be shown as € 1.00 incl. VAT (€ 1.00 excl. VAT) if you select a ship to country outside the EU. 0% VAT is charged for delivery outside the EU.
The price of the the VAT test article should also be shown as € 1.00 incl. VAT (€ 1.00 excl. VAT) if you enter a valid (non-Belgian) VAT number. 0% VAT is charged for intra-community deliveries.
