Buying and payment

VAT-free purchase for a company in another EU country

How a company in another European Union country can buy from the online shop without VAT: conditions, VAT number check in VIES, what you see in the cart and which invoice you receive.

A company registered for VAT in another European Union country can buy from the online shop without VAT. The site checks your VAT number in the European Commission’s VIES system and deducts VAT in the cart before you pay.

Conditions

  • The company is registered in another EU country, not in Estonia. We sell to Estonian companies with VAT.
  • The company has a valid VAT number that can be found in VIES.
  • The order is delivered to the same country as the company’s VAT number: to a parcel machine or as a postal parcel. If you collect the order yourself, we sell with VAT.

Prices on the site include Estonian VAT of 24%. When buying without VAT, you pay the price without VAT.

How to buy without VAT

  1. Put the products in the cart and open the order form.
  2. Tick “Buying as a company” and enter the company name. The registry code is optional.
  3. Choose the company’s country and a parcel machine or postal parcel for delivery.
  4. Enter the VAT number with the country code (for example FI…, LV…, LT…) and press “Check”.
  5. If the number is valid, you see “The VAT number is valid.” and “The order is placed without VAT (reverse charge).” The cart totals show the line “VAT 0% (reverse charge)”.
  6. Continue and pay as usual — by bank link or card.

The order confirmation by e-mail shows VAT 0% and the note “Sold without VAT: reverse charge, Directive 2006/112/EC, Art. 138”.

Reverse charge

In a VAT-free sale, the buyer accounts for and declares VAT in their own country (reverse charge). This is required by Article 138 of the EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC. For questions about VAT in your country, ask your accountant.

If the check fails

  • “VIES did not find this number.” Check the number and the country code. If the number is correct but VIES does not find it, you can buy with VAT.
  • “VAT-free sale is only possible with delivery to the company’s country…” The country of the VAT number and the delivery country must match.
  • “The check is not available right now.” The VIES system is not responding. Try again a little later.

If buying without VAT on the site does not work, write to us at klienditugi@mugavauto.ee or call +3726622277 before paying. We will agree how to place the order without VAT.

Invoice

We issue your company an invoice with VAT 0%, your VAT number and a reference to the reverse charge. If you have already paid for the order with VAT but need an invoice without VAT, write to us at klienditugi@mugavauto.ee.
