EU value added tax

Calculation of VAT for shipments to countries in 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.
The country of delivery specified in the delivery address is decisive.
As 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 displayed in the store initially refer to prices including the German VAT rate of 19% or a reduced rate of 7%.
As soon as you enter a delivery address in an EU country outside Germany, for example:

  • if you log in and your default delivery address is in another EU country
  • if you specify a delivery address in another EU country as a guest customer
  • if you change the delivery address to another EU country before completing the order

...the final prices (gross prices incl. VAT) of the articles will be updated automatically. It is therefore possible that the final prices of your order may change before the order is completed.
