Taxes depend on where your business is and how you buy. When you register you tell us whether you buy as a company or as a sole trader or individual; with that, the cart and the checkout show you the taxes that apply before you pay.
In short
- Spain (mainland and Balearic Islands): 21% VAT, plus the equivalence surcharge if you are under that scheme.
- Companies in another EU country with a valid VAT number in VIES: no VAT. We check it straight away.
- Without a valid EU VAT number: 21% Spanish VAT.
- Outside the EU: we only sell to companies, without Spanish VAT; import taxes are paid by the importer.
Spain
Purchases delivered to mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands carry 21% VAT. If you are a sole trader under the equivalence surcharge scheme, tick it in your account and the checkout adds the surcharge (5.2%) automatically. The Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla carry no Spanish VAT: import clearance and local taxes (IGIC or IPSI) are paid by the recipient.
Another European Union country
If you buy as a company and your VAT number is active in VIES, the invoice carries no VAT (intra-community supply). We check it in VIES straight away: when you register, in My account and at checkout. If VIES does not validate it, or you buy as an individual, 21% Spanish VAT applies.
Outside the European Union
For exports outside the European Union we only work with companies that hold an import licence. We ask for the company name and its tax number. The invoice carries no Spanish VAT; duties and taxes in the destination country are paid by the importer.
Proforma and invoice
Website prices do not include taxes: the cart adds them for your address. The invoice is issued to the tax details in your account, so check them before paying.
