This information is only relavant for customers with a physical address inside the European Union.

Technical Details Of VAT Calculations

Most companies charge extra to European customers for VAT, which means that European customers are forced to pay more than anyone else for the exact same thing.

For business reasons, we don't do this. Instead, we charge all customers the same, but for European customers, we allocate a proportion of the purchase price as VAT.

Technically this means that we give European customers a special discount equivalent to the amount of VAT, so that when the VAT is then added, the total payment is the same as for non-European customers.

 

The following details explain how this is processed...

For customers with a physical address inside the European Union, the customer is effectively given a special discount off the purchase price and then VAT is added to this discounted price. The result of this process is that customers with a physical address inside the European Union pay exactly the same amount as customers with a physical address outside the European Union, but part of the price is allocated as VAT. This process happens automatically (managed by our web server) based on the physical address provided by the customer during the order process. 


Example: Software or service priced at $37.00

For customers with a physical address outside the European Union: Customer simply pays $37.00.

For customers with a physical address inside the European Union:
Customer still pays $37.00, but this is automatically processed as
$37.00 minus special discount of $5.51 = $31.49
plus VAT of $5.51 = $37.00

 

 

VAT Exemption

We sell primarily to individuals and do not have any special mechanism in place for VAT registered companies. If you are buying on behalf of a VAT registered company, you may still order from us, but you will not be able to reclaim the VAT. This is similar to buying something from an ordinary (offline) shop, where you get a till receipt (not a VAT invoice) allowing you to claim the full payment against tax, but not allowing you to reclaim the VAT.
