If you're a VAT-registered business buying through AG for resale or business use, add your number in the VAT registration card under Settings. EU numbers are validated against VIES and applied to future orders. (VAT numbers are entered here, never on the checkout form.)
How to add it
- Open Settings and find the VAT registration card.
- Choose EU (with VIES validation) or Non-EU.
- Pick the Country (a dropdown for EU; a 2-letter code field for Non-EU) and type the VAT number in the separate field.
- Click Validate & save (EU) or Save (Non-EU).
EU numbers are checked against the EU's VIES service. Once validated, B2B-eligible cross-border EU orders shipped from the German facility use reverse-charge zero-rating automatically. Non-EU numbers print on invoices but aren't independently validated and don't grant zero-rating.
What this changes at checkout
- Reverse charge for cross-border B2B EU orders where applicable.
- VAT-exempt invoicing for qualifying transactions.
- The invoice on each order shows your VAT number alongside the AG/theprintspace VAT number.
When you don't need this
If you're buying as an individual or end-consumer, leave the VAT registration card blank. Standard VAT applies based on your country of residence and the delivery country.
