B2B Purchases in the EU: Shop VAT-Free with a Valid EU VAT Number

Are you a business registered in the European Union with a valid intra-community VAT number? Then you are eligible for 0% VAT exemption on your purchases according to the EU VAT Directive for intra-community supplies. Customers from Switzerland and Norway benefit from export VAT exemption.
