Changes due to the new EU VAT reform

The new EU VAT reform introduced a new VAT system at EU level for cross-border online trade with consumers. From July 1, 2021, companies will have to apply the VAT rate of the EU member state to which the goods are shipped.

These changes have been taken into account in our online shop and implemented as described below:

On your first visit, all prices are displayed including German VAT at 19 percent, regardless of your location. Once you have placed one or more items in the shopping cart, the prices are initially shown without VAT. Only after you have proceeded to checkout and selected the country to which the items are to be shipped, the VAT rate applicable there will be calculated and added to the net price.

Note: If you return to the online store, e.g. to order additional or different items, all prices will be displayed including the VAT rate applicable in the country you have already selected.
