We want to provide you with a clear understanding of how Value Added Tax (VAT) is applied to your orders, whether you are based in the UK or the EU. Here's a breakdown of VAT application based on different scenarios.
Watch our VAT explainer video here.
VAT on UK Orders
When placing orders shipping to the UK, VAT is charged based on the location from which the seller ships the products. Here's what you need to know:
- Qogita will charge you VAT at checkout to enable sourcing orders as locally as possible, ensuring the quickest delivery times.
- In cases where a better offer is available internationally, Qogita will refund the VAT to your wallet at the moment the order has been shipped. This is usually 3-4 business days after order placement.
- For International Orders, import VAT will be charged at the border. You will be contacted by the customs agent handling your shipment to arrange payment for the charges.
VAT on EU Orders with Domestic sourcing available
Similar to UK orders, VAT on EU orders depends on the location from which the seller ships the products. Here's an overview for orders shipping to France and The Netherlands.
- Qogita will charge you VAT at checkout to enable sourcing orders as locally as possible, ensuring the quickest delivery times.
- In cases where a better offer is available internationally, Qogita will refund the VAT to your wallet at the moment the order has been shipped. This is usually 3-4 business days after order placement.
- Qogita will not source your orders outside of the European Union, unless enabled in the Buyer-settings. Qogita will not invoice VAT for products sourced outside of the EU. However, VAT may be charged at the border.
- You will receive up to two invoices for your order; one containing the Domestically sourced products, and one containing the internationally sourced products.
- Buyers in the Netherlands will only receive one invoice, containing both Domestic- and internationally sourced products.
VAT on EU Orders with no Domestic sourcing available
Qogita will not charge VAT on checkout, no further VAT is invoiced unless the Buyer has enabled sourcing from outside of the EU in their buyer-settings.
