Information on the calculation of value added tax (VAT) within the European Union

For products that are offered in our online shop and sent to a delivery address within the European Union, the VAT rates applicable in the member states must be calculated in accordance with the tax laws applicable from 01.07.2021. The amount of VAT to be charged depends on the destination to which the product is being shipped.

The prices in our shop are displayed in EURO including the VAT applicable in the respective country, provided you have already created an account with us and are logged in. Without a customer account, we try to use the so-called geolocation based on the IP address to show you the correct VAT; in case of doubt, the VAT of 19% applicable in Germany, our company headquarter, is shown. For orders to other countries the German VAT amount will then be deducted and the applicable VAT rate for the destination country added.

Please note that the actual final price depends on the VAT that applies to your order as soon as you have entered your delivery destination in the shopping cart or your delivery address at the checkout.

The tax is calculated according to the following rates in the individual EU countries: (Last checked: 01.01.2024, Source: VAT rules at national level)
