If you are an EU business located outside of the UK, and have a valid VAT number, then you can buy from us VAT Free.
In order for us to be able to deduct the VAT from your order we will need to validate your VAT number. This means that you must enter it in the correct format.
Your VAT number must start with your two digit country code (ie 'EI' for Ireland, 'FR' for FRANCE or 'DE' for Germany. This code must be immediately followed by between 8 - 12 numbers ie:
EI987654321
FR1239874567
If you are a UK based company you DO NOT need to enter your VAT number. You will be charged VAT regardless.
The structure of the VAT number according to your country is given in the table below:
