VAT
When creating your account, please make sure to enter your VAT number. This small formality will enable us to draw up an invoice that we will e-mail to you after your order has been shipped. You will then be able to enter this document into your accounts and recover the VAT paid.
If you are not subject to VAT, the Belgian statutory tax rate of 21% will apply and will be deducted at the time of payment. Ducomat will then transfer this amount to the Belgian government. This procedure applies to private individuals residing in Belgium or in another EU country such as UK, for example.
In concrete terms, any company that sells (supplies) or buys (acquires) goods to or from a professional based in another European country is subject to intra-Community VAT. An intra-Community acquisition is a purchase of goods made by a taxable company established in Germany, for example, from a taxable company established in another member state of the European Union.
During the purchase procedure on our website, you will be asked for your VAT identification number. After you enter it, the system will verify that it is valid, and then create the bill for your purchases, excluding VAT.
After delivery, an invoice will be sent to you by e-mail, with the amount paid at the bottom of the page, accompanied by the following comment: Reverse charge – Art. 44 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax
