All prices quoted do not include German value added tax (VAT), which is currently 19%. The following information is for guidance only. We reserve the right to charge VAT whenever being advised by officials or tax consultants. If you think that you are not subject to VAT contrary to the information given below, we kindly ask you to contact sales before placing your order.
VAT is charged to all German customers at the standard rate of 19%. You do not need to supply your VAT ID number when ordering.
Customers in any of the EU member states who are registered in their own country for sales tax should state their sales tax number when ordering. If you do this, we will not charge VAT. Your sales tax number will be quoted on the invoice, together with our own VAT number, as required by EU legislation.
If you are based in the EU, but are not registered for sales tax, we will charge you VAT as it applies in Germany (currently 19%). This usually applies to end users in the EU.
VAT is a sales tax. It is not charged on any goods or services supplied to customers outside the EU. Your local import taxes or custom duties may still apply, for which you are responsible to pay. However, in most cases import taxes or custom duties do not apply to downloads.
