Do you have to pay VAT at VDO Webshop?
Whether you have to pay VAT at VDO Webshop depends on a number of situations. VAT is charged by VDO Webshop according to European regulations. The starting point here is, among other things, the place where the goods are delivered. Below is an overview of the possible situations and the VAT that we have to charge.
Deliveries outside the EU
All deliveries outside the EU are exempt from VAT. By choosing the correct country of destination outside the EU when creating the shipping address, the VAT rate is automatically set to 0%. If this automatic verification is not successful, please contact us by email. You can do that here: https://vdo-webshop.nl/en/contact-contact
Deliveries, outside the Netherlands within the EU, to customers with a VAT number
Are you located outside the Netherlands but within the EU and do you have a valid VAT number? Then we do not have to charge VAT. You must then enter your valid VAT number without dots and/or other punctuation marks at the billing address and delivery address, in the appropriate box, and choose the correct country of destination.
Your VAT number is automatically checked by our system at VIES (https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/#/vat-validation). If your VAT number is approved by VIES, no VAT will be charged by VDO Webshop.
N.B.: In some cases (especially with German VAT numbers) there is sometimes an unjustified rejection and VAT is therefore charged. If the automatic verification is not successful, please contact us by e-mail.
Deliveries within the EU to customers without a VAT number
Do you want to receive your order in a country that is part of the European Union? In this case, we have to charge the VAT of the country where the delivery takes place.
Deliveries in the Netherlands
All deliveries in the Netherlands must be taxed with Dutch VAT.
Deliveries to ships
The supply of supplies for ships and aircraft falls under the 0% rate if those ships or aircraft themselves fall under the 0% rate.
The supplies must be delivered to the operator of the outgoing ship or aircraft. If the delivery is not directly to the operator, but to a warehouse, for example, you must indicate for which outgoing ship or aircraft the goods will be used.
You must also state the IMO number of the ship on the order. This shows that the ship is used for navigation on the high seas. If the ship does not have an IMO number, you must prove that the ship is used for navigation on the high seas in another way, for example with a statement.
This statement is free of form. A new declaration must be issued each calendar year in the case of an order. Even if the destination of the ship changes in the meantime, a new statement must be issued in the case of an order.
The certificate must show that the ship:
- at least 70% of the voyage on the high seas
- is used commercially
- who is the operator of the ship is
- which ship is involved
- whether it concerns a ship with or without a (known) operating history
- for which year the statement is valid
- which calculation method the operator uses to calculate whether the ship is at least 70% navigating on the high seas
Delivery to aircraft
The supply of aircraft (including helicopters) is subject to the 0% rate. This is subject to the condition that these means of transport are used by an airline whose main activity is paid international transport. This must be evidenced by a written statement.
