European Union Tax Rates
Calculation of VAT for shipments to countries of the European Union (EU)
Since July 1, 2021, deliveries to private individuals in other EU countries must be taxed at the VAT rate applicable in the respective country of delivery.
Decisive is the country of delivery specified in the delivery address.
Since the VAT rates vary in the EU, the gross prices of the items also vary - depending on the country of delivery.
When will I see the final price?
The prices shown in the shop initially refer to prices including the German VAT rate of 19% or 7% (reduced tax rate).
As soon as a delivery address is stated in an EU country outside Germany, for example:
- if you log in and your standard delivery address is an EU country outside Germany
- if you, as a guest orderer, specify a delivery address in an EU country outside Germany
- if you change the delivery address to an EU country outside Germany before completing the order
the final prices (gross prices including VAT) of the articles are automatically updated. Therefore it can happen that the final prices of your order change before the order is completed.
