new order system Decks.de

[blizt]

I always do fine ordering from juno. Shipping has raised slightly over the course of years, but I guess it's normal. I have been tempted to order some items from decks but their shipping costs prior to that always put me apart.

I've always received great service from Decks.de and enjoyed the possibility of not paying the German VAT (=cheaper records for me)...

you said

you think the system of not paying VAT in the country where you are buying, is to give you cheaper records?

Intra-Community acquisition
An intra-Community acquisition of goods is a taxable transaction for consideration crossing two or more member states and the goods are not sold to the final consumer but rather between merchants.[19] The place of supply is determined to be the destination member state, and VAT is charged at the rate applicable in the destination member state.[20]
The mechanism for achieving this result is as follows. The exporting member state zero-rates the VAT. This means that the member state of the exporting merchant does not collect VAT on the sale, but still gives the exporting merchant a credit for the VAT paid on the purchase by the exporter (in practice this often means a cash refund). The importing member state "reverse charges" the VAT. This means that the importer is required to pay VAT to the importing member state at its rate. In many cases a credit is immediately given for this as input VAT. The importer then charges VAT on resale in the normal way.[20]
