Tax - Frequently Asked QuestionsUpdated a year ago
1. Does Tax Apply to All Orders?
No, it is contingent upon the shipping location. In simpler terms, whether you will be subject to tax or not hinges on your shipping address.
Currently, VAT Tax is imposed in specific European countries and Canada.
2. What is the Applicable VAT rate in my country?
We do not have a fixed tax rate for all orders. The standard VAT rate in the EU falls within the range of 17 to 27%. The tax rate for your order will be calculated and displayed on the checkout page. This calculation relies on your shipping address, which is needed to determine the applicable VAT rate.
