CALLING EUROPEANS... UK or German online shop needed.

(1/3) > >>

leGreve:
I'm looking for online shops that sell Canon gear AND offer to deduct VAT by adding your vat number. I'd really prefer German or UK shops, but any EU shop would do really.

So if you know of any please list em up... it really does matter that you can deduct VAT straight away.

Flake:
There are plenty of UK camera shops, but I don't think the VAT system allows them to do this.  Vat is charged and the customer then has to claim it back from HMRC from their home country.  You might want to check this with the shops, you can find a list of most of the major ones here:  http://www.camerapricebuster.com/  It also tells you whose cheapest.

A vd vorst:
This must be possible be every webshop in the EU

I'm dutch and this is how it works in the Netherlands.


We can provide you with VAT (19%) free deliveries if you have your own company within Europe .

We would need your VAT number and company address details for verification purposes.  You can fill in these details once you have placed your order via our website.  We can provide you with VAT free deliveries once the Dutch Inland Revenue has verified and approved your details.
You will automatically receive a confirmation email once your order has been completed, which will always include (19%) VAT as standard. 
So make sure you don’t transfer this amount just yet!

You will receive confirmation of the correct amount, excluding VAT, by email from once we have received approval from the Dutch Inland Revenue, which is usually on the same working day.  The order can subsequently only be sent out to this company address.

This is from www.cameranu.nl you can also use http://www.kamera-express.nl/

Just want to clarify this.... It is entirly possible. In fact EU law has made it possible. It was introduced to induce trade across borders within the EU. Unfortunately not all shops are doing it, even though they could. You just need a vat number in your own country and then fill it in at the payment information.

Fx. check out proav.co.uk and creativevideo.co.uk... those two I've been using for video gear. Also Thomann.de, who does sound, have the same "vat" field you can fill out and they check it immediately, saving you from paying vat.

They really should do it across the line. I spent 10.000 euro in European shops buying video gear because I didn't have to pay vat, if I had spent that at home I would have to pay the vat and reclaim it later, in turn making me able to spend less.

But I just haven't been able to find any shops that did photo gear.

I'll check out those two links posted.
