As a business with a valid EU VAT ID, you can purchase from us net – without VAT.
Follow these steps:
B2B purchase with EU VAT ID
Before shopping, go to your cart page. In the lower section you will find a form – enter your email address and your EU VAT ID, then click "Check VAT". Your VAT ID will be verified instantly via the official EU VIES system. Once confirmed, your email address is registered for VAT-free purchasing.
Now browse the shop and add all desired products to your cart as usual.
Proceed to checkout and sign in using the exact same email address you used during validation. The system will recognise your VAT ID and automatically remove the tax from your total. You pay the net amount.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the requirements?
You need a valid EU VAT ID (e.g. DE123456789). The ID must be registered and active in the official EU VIES system.
Do I have to validate my VAT ID every time?
No. Once your email address has been registered, all future orders placed with that email will automatically be VAT-free.
What happens if the validation fails?
If your VAT ID cannot be validated, VAT will still be applied to your order. Please double-check the ID for typos. If the problem persists, feel free to contact us.
Do I have to use the same email address at checkout?
Yes. The system links your VAT exemption to the email address used during validation. Using a different email address at checkout will result in VAT being charged.
Does this work for all EU countries?
Yes, this process applies to all businesses with a valid VAT ID from any EU member state, provided your company and our shop are based in different EU countries (intra-community supply).
Will I receive a proper invoice?
Yes. You will receive a net invoice showing your VAT ID and the applicable reverse charge or VAT-exempt intra-community supply reference.
