Passing of customs is followed by payment of fiscal collecting on the added value and duties on goods. The VAT size in Germany on the products imported from abroad is derivative size from a possible excise, duty and customs value. For calculation of this indicator the following formula is used:

If necessary to return this fiscal collecting it must be kept in mind that only the nonresident of the EU or the citizen of the European Union on condition of presence of the extension of the payer of the VAT at it can carry out this procedure.

To save, some buyers try to carry out operation bypassing trading floor, having agreed directly with the seller about non-inclusion of the VAT in the final price of goods. However such scheme is accompanied by certain risks to which the buyer is exposed.

The nonresident of Germany who spent funds for payment of a value added tax can return them. A responsible person for a refund is the seller of goods. Therefore not to face additional problems, sellers ceased to add the VAT to the total cost of the products sold by them. It saved buyers from the additional efforts connected with return of money, & #8211; they just pay less.
