Payment

Which payment methods are possible in the shop?

Payment for domestic customers can be made by SEPA direct debit and prepayment. For the first order, a corresponding SEPA mandate is required in advance so that we can release the order. Customers from abroad can only pay in advance.

Do the offer prices in the online shop include sales tax (VAT)?

In commercial transactions, the delivery country is decisive for the calculation of the sales tax in accordance with the applicable sales tax legislation (UStG and UStDV).

The sales tax legislation distinguishes 3 options for delivery:

• Domestic Delivery: Commercial transactions with delivery within Italy are subject to sales tax at the applicable Italian sales tax rate.
• Intra-Community supply: Commercial transactions with delivery to neighboring EU countries are exempt from VAT (requirement: proof of a valid VAT ID for the country of delivery and a delivery certificate, e.g. CRM bill of lading, track & trace protocol of a parcel service, or confirmation of arrival of the goods).
• Export delivery: Commercial transactions with deliveries to a non-EU country are exempt from VAT (requirement: proof of export by means of export documents in the electronic ATLAS customs procedure or, for a goods value < €1000, by proof of a forwarding agent/courier service certificate).

In principle, we are therefore obliged to invoice the statutory sales tax, unless suitable proof of a possible sales tax exemption is available. The currently valid Italian sales tax (VAT) is 22%.

For you as a DS customer, this means the following when placing your order:

Domestic Delivery: All orders with delivery country Italy will be invoiced plus 22% VAT.

• Intra-Community supply: All orders with delivery to other EU countries without a valid VAT ID for the EU delivery country will be invoiced plus VAT. With subsequent proof of a valid VAT ID for the EU delivery country and proof of a delivery certificate for the goods in the EU delivery country, you will receive a new invoice without sales tax. The sales tax already paid will be credited to your customer account.

• Export delivery: All orders with deliveries to non-EU countries are invoiced plus VAT. If there is a valid proof of export (ATLAS procedure or forwarder/courier certificate for an order value of €1000) for the goods, you will receive a new invoice without sales tax. The sales tax already paid will be credited to your customer account.
