Value Added Tax (VAT)

VAT applicability depends on your location and circumstances:

  1. Customers Based in France:
    • Standard VAT will be applied to all purchases, as per local regulations.
  2. Customers in the EU (Outside France) with a Valid VAT ID:
    • When both the shipping and destination countries are within the EU, and the consignee has provided a valid VAT ID, the sale is treated as an intra-community supply and is exempt from VAT at the point of sale.
    • Customers may need to file a reverse charge VAT declaration in accordance with Article 196 of EU Council Directive 2006/112/EC.
    • If a VAT ID is not provided or is invalid, VAT will be applied based on the applicable regulations, which may involve VAT from the shipping country (France) or the destination country, depending on the scenario.
  3. International Customers (Outside the EU):
    • VAT does not apply, and no VAT will be charged on purchases.
