Can I get a VAT invoice?
Can I get a VAT invoice?
Yes. Every invoice we send is a proper VAT invoice. If you provide a valid EU VAT ID when ordering, your invoice will show 0% VAT under the reverse charge mechanism. If you don't provide a VAT ID, your invoice will show the applicable VAT rate for your country.
Two types of VAT invoices
For EU businesses with valid VAT ID (B2B)
What you get:
- Invoice shows 0% VAT rate
- States "Reverse charge" or "Steuerschuldnerschaft des Leistungsempfängers" (German)
- Includes your VAT ID and ours
- You self-assess VAT in your own country
Why 0% VAT? Under EU VAT rules, intra-EU business-to-business sales use the "reverse charge mechanism." We don't charge you VAT—you handle it yourself through your own VAT return.
Your responsibility:
- Declare the purchase in your VAT return
- Self-assess VAT at your local rate
- Immediately reclaim it as input VAT (if you're VAT-registered)
- Net effect: Usually zero additional VAT cost for VAT-registered businesses
For individuals or businesses without VAT ID (B2C)
What you get:
- Invoice shows applicable VAT rate for your country
- VAT is included in the price you pay
- No reverse charge applies
VAT rates by country:
Country | Standard VAT Rate |
|---|---|
Germany | 19% |
Austria | 20% |
Netherlands | 21% |
Belgium | 21% |
Italy | 22% |
Finland | 24% |
Sweden | 25% |
Why you pay VAT: You're not VAT-registered (or didn't provide a VAT ID), so we charge VAT on your behalf and remit it to tax authorities. This is standard for B2C (business-to-consumer) sales.
