Buying for business purposes? Then this is an important choice. For most devices in our online shop, you can choose between a device under the margin scheme and a device with VAT. For businesses, the latter is usually the most cost-effective.
Choose VAT if you are VAT-registered
For a device with VAT, we calculate VAT on the full sale price. This VAT is listed separately on your invoice, which means that in most cases you can reclaim it from the Tax Administration.
Do the maths: the price including VAT is higher than the margin price, but if you reclaim the VAT, you will usually pay less net.
When does the margin scheme make sense?
- You are not VAT-registered, for example as a non-profit organisation or VAT-exempt business.
- You cannot offset the VAT for another reason.
In those cases, you cannot reclaim the VAT, so you simply pay less under the margin scheme.
The device is the same
The only difference is the tax scheme, not the device itself. Every device undergoes the same 50-point test, is repaired where necessary and comes with a 3-year warranty.
Where do I choose this?
On the category page in the Partner Portal. At the top, you can switch between standard VAT and margin scheme VAT.
