Become a business customer with a VAT ID
Buyers identify themselves in the shop as business customers with their VAT ID; the number is checked via VIES.
The problem
Companies from other EU countries buy VAT-free if their VAT ID is valid. Without a check in the shop, it remained unclear whether a delivery could be invoiced tax-free.
The solution
Buyers enter their VAT ID, and the shop checks it via the EU's VIES system. The cart then indicates the tax-free intra-Community supply.
