Processing Orders with other EU countries
If both Service Partner and the foreign customer have a VAT identification number, VAT must be paid in the country where the so-called place of performance is located. In the case of transactions across national borders, the place of performance is shifted to the location of the recipient of the goods.
Therefore, an order will not contain any VAT (0% VAT) if all of the following conditions apply:

Calculate the tax for each item individually.
For the total prices, we create the sum for each column individually.
What | Net Price | 19% Tax | Gross Price |
---|---|---|---|
Line 1 | 3,40 € | 3,40 € * 0,19 ≈ 0,65 € | 3,40 € + 0,65 € = 4,05 € |
Line 2 | 2,40 € | 2,40 € * 0,19 ≈ 0,46 € | 2,40 € + 0,46 € = 2,86 € |
Total | 3,40 € + 2,40 € = 5,80 € | 0,65 € + 0,46 € = 1,11 € | 4,05 € + 2,86 € = 6,91 € |
Benefit:
Each item contains prices with 2 decimal places for net and gross.
For each column the total is the sum of all line prices
Drawback:
The tax on the total seems to be off: (5,00 € * 0,19 = 1,10 € ≠ 1,11 €). This effect increases for high quantities and lower prices. Note, that although the tax seems to be not correct on the total, this method of calculating tax is legal and commonly used.

Create the sum for the Gross price only
Use the VAT rate to derive a Total net Price.
What | Net Price | 19% Tax | Gross Price |
---|---|---|---|
Line 1 | 3,40 € | 3,40 € * 0,19 ≈ 0,65 € | 3,40 € + 0,65 € = 4,05 € |
Line 2 | 2,40 € | 2,40 € * 0,19 ≈ 0,46 € | 2,40 € + 0,46 € = 2,86 € |
Total | 6,91 € - 1,10 € = 5,81 € | 6,91 € *0,19 / 1,19 ≈ 1,10 € | 4,05 € + 2,86 € = 6,91 € |
Benefit:
The tax calculation is correct in the last line.
Drawback:
For the Net prices and tax column, the sum of the line prices are not equal to the total price (when using only 2 decimal digits). (e.g. 3,40 € + 2,40 € = 5,80 € ≠ 5,81 €)
