How sales tax (VAT) works on our prices
We sell across the EU and charge the correct local sales tax (VAT) rate for your country.
The prices shown across the site include VAT at a standard 20% for display. When you log in and reach checkout, we apply the actual VAT rate for your delivery country - so the final figure you pay reflects your local rate, which may be slightly higher or lower than the price shown.
If you're a VAT-registered business in an EU country other than Poland (where we are based), you can buy from us without VAT under the EU reverse charge rules. You account for VAT in your own country instead.
How to buy as a business
You can either set up a business account before you order, or order straight away and we'll handle the VAT afterwards.
Set up an account first (recommended)
Email us at info@signalsounds.eu with your VAT number before you order. Once we've verified it and set up your account, you'll see VAT-free pricing across the whole site every time you're logged in - no VAT charged, no refund needed.
Order now, VAT refunded after
If you prefer not to wait, place your order and enter your VAT number in the Tax Number field on the address form with no spaces, hyphens, dots or other characters - for example:
- Correct: DE123456789
- Incorrect: DE 123 456 789 or DE-123456789
The country code at the start is optional - both DE123456789 and 123456789 work.
On this first order we'll charge VAT as normal, then refund it once we've verified your number against VIES.
After that, we'll set up your business account so you can browse and buy VAT-free on all future orders.
VAT Verification
We verify your VAT number against VIES, the European Commission's official VAT validation system.
A few things worth knowing:
- The reverse charge applies to cross-border EU business sales only. If your business is in Poland, local VAT still applies to your order.
- Your VAT number must be valid and active on VIES for the verification to succeed. If you've registered recently, it can take a few days to appear.
- The name and country on your VAT registration should match your order details.
