How is VAT calculated and charged?
The applicable VAT rate will be automatically calculated and added to the Printify order cost. The shipping fees are also included in the taxable amount.
Depending on several variables listed below, the applied VAT rate can range between 0% to 27%.
The exact VAT rate is calculated based on:
-
What country an order (or a particular product) is printed in (origin country)
-
Where it is shipped to (destination country)
-
Whether you have submitted a VAT ID to Printify (and if yes, depending on the country of VAT registration)
Below are several examples showing how VAT is calculated based on different shipping origin and destination combinations:
