VAT Information for EU & UK Orders

We use the EU/UK VAT Validation Manager to process tax-exempt orders for our business customers. Please review the following rules to understand how VAT is applied to your purchase:

EU Business Orders

If you are a company based in the European Union (outside of Italy) and provide a valid VAT number during checkout, your order will be VAT-free (0% VAT) under the reverse charge mechanism.

This is governed by the EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC. Specifically, Articles 138 and 139 of this directive state that the supply of goods dispatched or transported from one Member State to a VAT-registered business in another Member State is exempt from VAT (zero-rated), provided the customer accounts for VAT under the reverse charge mechanism in their own country.

Orders from Italy

As our company is based in Italy, all orders with an Italian billing address are subject to standard Italian VAT, regardless of whether a valid VAT number is provided. Italian business customers will receive a proper tax invoice but cannot benefit from the VAT-free intra-community supply rule.

UK Orders

Orders from the United Kingdom are processed according to current post-Brexit trade agreements and VAT validation rules integrated into our system.

Note: VAT validation happens in real-time during the checkout process. Please ensure your VAT number is entered correctly to apply the appropriate tax status.
