Purchasing as a company

Companies in the EU with a valid VAT number can buy without VAT, under the intra-community reverse charge.

How it works

Enter your company name and VAT number at checkout. We check the number against the VIES database automatically. If it validates, the VAT is deducted from your total before you pay, and your invoice is issued with the reverse charge noted on it. You then account for the VAT yourself in your own return.

Exceptions

• Hungarian companies. The reverse charge does not apply to a domestic sale, so Hungarian VAT of 27% is charged as normal.
• UK companies. Our UK prices include UK VAT, and UK VAT is charged as normal. The reverse charge applies only to cross-border sales within the EU.
• Companies in the rest of the world. In the United States, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, India and other markets outside the EU and the UK, prices are shown and charged without VAT for every customer, so there is nothing to deduct. Any import duty or local sales tax is settled under the rules of your own country.

If your VAT number does not validate, or the deduction does not appear on your total, please contact us before completing the order and we will sort it out.
