Taxes & Fees

VAT for Businesses and Entrepreneurs in the EU

Within the European Union, specific rules apply to the purchase and sale of goods regarding VAT (Value Added Tax). These rules depend on whether you are a VAT payer and whether you are buying from us as a VAT payer in another member state.

Intra-Community Supply of Goods (Sale)

When we supply goods to your company, which is a registered VAT payer in another EU member state, this supply is exempt from VAT in the Slovak Republic. This process is called an intra-community supply of goods exempt from tax.

To be eligible for this exemption, you must meet the following conditions:

  1. Your company is a VAT payer in another member state, which you must prove with a valid VAT ID.
  2. The goods are physically transported from one member state to another.

In this case, we do not state VAT on the invoice. Your company then applies the so-called reverse charge mechanism in its state, where you calculate and pay the VAT yourself in your member state. Our e-shop does not pay VAT in Slovakia.

Intra-Community Acquisition of Goods (Purchase)

If you, as a VAT payer in Slovakia, purchase goods from our company, the same reverse charge mechanism applies. Our company will issue an invoice to you without VAT, and we will deliver the goods to Slovakia. Subsequently, in your VAT return, you will calculate and pay the VAT on this purchase (e.g., 20%) and, at the same time, deduct it in the same amount. For your company, the purchase is therefore cost-neutral from a VAT perspective, as you can deduct the tax.

VAT for Non-VAT Payers and Consumers

If you are a final consumer or a company that is not a VAT payer, you will pay VAT according to the rate applicable in the Slovak Republic (20%). This amount is already included in the price of the goods you see on our website.

Other Fees

In addition to VAT, other fees may be added to your order, which may vary depending on the destination country and the type of goods. These may include:

  • Customs duties: For shipments outside the European Union, e.g., for deliveries to the United Kingdom, USA, or Turkey.
  • Other administrative fees: Related to customs procedures.
  • Cash on delivery fees: If you choose this payment method.
