EU VAT FAQs

What is European Union Value Added Tax ("EU VAT")

The European Union Value Added Tax ("EU VAT") is a value added tax encompassing member states in the European Union Value Added Tax Area. Joining in this is compulsory for member states of the European Union. As a consumption tax, the EU VAT taxes the consumption of goods and services in the EU VAT area. The EU VAT's key issue asks where the supply and consumption occurs thereby determining which member state will collect the VAT and which VAT rate will be charged.

Each Member State's national VAT legislation must comply with the provisions of EU VAT law as set out in Directive 2006/112/EC. This Directive sets out the basic framework for EU VAT, but does allow Member States some degree of flexibility in implementation of VAT legislation. For example different rates of VAT are allowed in different EU member states. (source wikipedia.org)

What is the Value Added Tax (Mehrwertsteuer) for Germany?

The VAT (MwSt) for Germany is currently 19%.

So when must VAT (MwSt) be paid?

This is a question we get asked time and time again. It really is pretty simple and its set out below to assist you - but please do remember it is an EU legal requirement to which we all must adhere and without exception.

• Orders for delivery and invoicing within Germany are subject to 19% German VAT (MwSt) in compliance with Steuerfreie innergemeinschaftliche Lieferung nach § 4 Nr. 1b UstG
• Orders for delivery and invoicing within the EU are subject to 19% German VAT (MwSt) unless the customer has provided their Company EU-VAT Nr (USt-IdNr.), in which case only the net amount will be charged
• Orders for delivery and invoicing outside the EU are not subject to any German VAT (MwSt) in compliance with Steuerfreie Ausfuhrlieferung nach § 4 Nr. 1a UstG

MAPLELEAF's Automated EU VAT Number Validation System

Our automated EU VAT Number Validation System interfaces directly with the EU's VAT Information Exchange System (VIES) at: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/

During the Order-Entry process the automated EU VAT Number Validation System accesses in real-time the EU VIES VAT Number Validation Service to verify/validate the entered VAT Nr. The validation process then, except in the case of Germany where VAT must always be included in the purchase transaction, displays a pop-up window indicating the associated verification/validation result from the EU VIES VAT Number Validation Service. The 3 message responses from the EU VIES VAT Number Validation Service are as follows:

Message: Your VAT number has been validated.

Action: No VAT will be included in the purchase transaction.

Message: Your VAT number is invalid. You will be charged VAT on this purchase.

Action: VAT will be included in the purchase transaction as is required by EU law.

Message: EU VAT service is unavailable at this time. You will be charged VAT on this purchase.

Action: VAT will be included in the purchase transaction as is required by EU law.
