VAT Zero Rated
W.E.B.S Ltd charge VAT at the standard rate on all transactions, unless we approve your account so that invoices can be Zero Rated. If you hold a valid VAT number, we can ship ZERO rated invoices to your EU member state. For more information regarding the validation process you can visit the Government website direct provided here which explains the process we must follow.
VAT Numbers
Our customers must provide us with a valid VAT number which W.E.B.S Ltd will then check and validate. Existing traders in the new Member States already have VAT identification numbers. However, some of the new Member States only started issuing identification numbers to non-established taxable persons from 1 May 2004.
Verification of VAT Numbers
The new Member States did not have a legal obligation to provide verification of VAT identification numbers until 1 May. Verification facilities before that date were being provided as a service to traders.
Verification
We will check to ensure you hold a valid VAT registration, which we will supply goods with ZERO rated invoice. The validity of a customer's VAT number can be checked via the European Commission online Europa website.
