VAT-free orders for EU registered companies​
We are pleased to offer a special option for European businesses. If you are a registered company in Europe* and would like to order from us, you have the option to order with 0% VAT**.
How does this work? It’s very simple: all you have to do is provide us with your valid European VAT identification number. It is important that this number exactly matches your company and the registration address provided***. Only in cases where the company name and address match exactly can we issue an invoice without VAT.
Please note that this procedure only applies to corporate customers from Europe*Â and is not applicable to private customers. Private customers are still obliged to pay taxes based on their local VAT rate. Our aim is to provide you as a business with a smooth and efficient ordering process.
By exempting you from VAT, we can offer you financial benefits and help you optimise your operational expenses. We place great emphasis on compliance with all legal requirements and would like to emphasise that we can only enable VAT-free ordering if the VAT identification number is correctly stated. This is important for us to ensure that everything is done in accordance with applicable EU tax regulations.
*Eligible countries include Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. French-based companies are not eligible to VAT-free invoicing.
**VAT exemption as described in these terms is only applicable to orders placed on www.hcx-eu.com. Some HCX products distributors may offer tax exemptions to EU businesses independently from these terms.
***In order to comply with EU tax regulations, your company’s shipping address should match your VAT number registration country.
How to benefit from VAT-free invoicing
Only if your VAT number is fully and correctly confirmed can we allow VAT-free ordering. Therefore, check your EU tax number in advance by accessing the EU VAT validation form.
Once validated, you can either enter your company VAT number along with your billing address in your account’s dashboard or enter it directly during checkout in the corresponding field. EU Tax validation will be done automatically during checkout but may in some cases require manual verification.
