The VAT rate charged for your order depends on various factors, including whether you have a valid EU VAT ID number and which country it is registered in, the destination country of your order, and whether merchOne is registered in that country. 

If your order is fulfilled within the EU and shipped to an EU country and you do not have a valid EU VAT ID number, you will be charged the German VAT rate. If you can offset this tax at a later time, please seek advice from your tax office. 

If you are registered as a VAT payer in Germany, the German VAT rate will be applied if the order is shipped within Germany or to an EU country other than Germany. 

If you have a valid EU VAT ID number registered in a country other than Germany, a 0% VAT rate will be applied if the order is shipped to an EU country other than Germany. However, if the order is shipped within Germany, the German VAT rate will be applied. 

For orders shipped to the United Kingdom, the UK VAT rate will be applied, and for orders shipped to Switzerland, the Swiss VAT rate will be applied. 

If you have any questions regarding your specific case, we recommend consulting with your tax office.
