Pricing & billing
How is VAT handled?
In short
For EU business customers with a valid VAT ID the reverse-charge procedure applies, for third countries the export rule. The tax is determined automatically.
During ordering the VAT ID is validated. If a valid number of an EU business customer outside Germany is present, the invoice is issued net under the reverse-charge procedure.
For customers outside the EU the export rule applies. Private customers and domestic business customers receive invoices with German VAT shown.
