Prices and VAT

• All prices are stated in EUR (€).
• All prices include the German "Mehrwertsteuer/Umsatzsteuer" (VAT) which is currently 19% for most goods and 7% for some special goods (e.g. Books)
• If you are purchasing commercially and you can provide a non-German Tax-ID number (refer to http://www.bzst.de/003%5fmenue%5flinks/005%5fustidnr/512%5fmerkblatt/001%5faufbaupdf.pdf how it is called in your country), we can deduct the German VAT from the invoice. You can check your number at http://ec.europa.eu/taxation%5fcustoms/vies

If you think our prices are too high (e.g. compared to direct shipments from e.g. Asia), then please take into account that:

1. our price already includes the EU import tax (approx. 16-21%) which you have to pay in addition when importing yourself,
2. we ship from stock in Germany,
3. we offer with a qualified CE approval which is required to legally operate the devices,
4. we offer 24 months EU warranty and repair service.

Finally, we can recommend to consider what you get in addition to the pure device. And we can recommend to think about some statements attributed to John Ruskin.
