How can I buy at net price?

If you are buying rugs for a business in another EU country, CarpetDepo may be able to invoice your order without charging VAT. Check the conditions and have your EU VAT number ready before ordering.

When can CarpetDepo invoice an order without charging VAT?

For a qualifying intra-EU supply, the rugs must be dispatched from Hungary to another EU member state and you must give CarpetDepo a valid VAT identification number issued by an EU member state other than Hungary. The other conditions for an intra-EU supply must also be met. Use a VAT number valid for intra-EU transactions.

What should I enter at checkout?

  1. Check your EU VAT number in the European Commission’s VIES database.
  2. Enter your business’s legal name, billing address and VAT number, including its country prefix, in the billing details. Check that the delivery address is correct.
  3. Review the VAT shown in your order summary before you confirm. If the number cannot be verified or VAT is still shown, contact us before placing the order.

Do I still need to account for VAT?

The net amount on the invoice is the price before VAT. For a standard intra-EU acquisition of goods, the buyer generally accounts for VAT in the country where the rugs arrive, subject to local rules on reporting and deduction. Purchases for private use follow the applicable consumer VAT rules.

How do I get or activate an EU VAT number?

Ask your national tax authority whether you need to register or activate your VAT number for intra-EU transactions. If VIES does not confirm your number, check the details with that authority. See the EU guide to cross-border VAT for more information.
