Who Qualifies for VAT-Free Purchases?
Business customers located outside of the Netherlands are eligible for VAT-free purchases. This is in line with European Union (EU) regulations, which allow for VAT exemption on cross-border transactions within the EU, provided the buyer is a business entity with a valid VAT number.
How to Make a VAT-Free Purchase
During Checkout: When you proceed to checkout, you will see an option to enter your company's VAT number.
VAT Number Validation: After you enter your VAT number, our system will automatically validate it against the European Commission's VAT Information Exchange System (VIES).
Successful Validation: If the VAT number is valid, the VAT will be removed from your purchase total, allowing you to complete your order without paying VAT.
What Happens if the VAT Number is Invalid?
If the VAT number you provide is invalid:
VAT Application: VAT will still be applied to your purchase at the applicable rate.
Notification: You will receive a notification during the checkout process indicating that the VAT number entered is invalid. You may attempt to correct the VAT number or proceed with the purchase including VAT.
Tips for a Smooth VAT-Free Checkout
Double-Check Your VAT Number: Ensure that the VAT number you enter is correct and matches the information registered with your local tax authorities.
Format: Enter the VAT number in the correct format as required by your country.
