How to avoid the VAT extra charge
If you reside within the European Union (EU), your order will be charged a local tax, unless you provide your European VAT number. According to the EU accounting process, you are required to provide your registered European VAT (Value-Added Tax) number for all inter EU transactions. By providing this number you will avoid being charged local taxes. This directive applies only to customers within the European Union. Our system will verify the validity of your VAT number based on the European Commission VIES system and accordingly waive tax charges. Check the VAT number formats or consult with your accountant. Please note that we do not charge non-EU customers with VAT.

VAT not accepted
In case your VAT number is rejected by the system, it is either not a valid number, or it was mistyped. Contact your accountant or try to verify the number directly from VIES. Please note that if the VIES system is down we will not be able to verify your number. In this case you may try to place your order later on.
