From 1 July 2021 we are obliged to charge the VAT rate applicable in the EU Member State of purchase. For example:

  • In the Netherlands 21% VAT applies. If you place an order and have it delivered in the Netherlands, 21% VAT will be charged.
  • In Germany the applicable rate for VAT is 19%. If you place an order and have it delivered in Germany, 19% VAT will be charged.

If you select your country on the checkout page, the correct VAT rate will be applied automatically. You always pay the correct VAT rate as an EU consumer or company.

Business (Intra-EU supply (0% VAT))

If you place a order on the name of a company in the European Union and this company does have a valid VAT number for VAT shifting, you are able to pay VAT-free (Intra-EU supply). Enter the company name and enter a valid VAT number of the company on the checkout page and the VAT will be automatically removed from the total order amount.

For customers in the UK (excluding Northern Ireland) from 1 January 2021:

Private person (consumers)

We charge you the 20% UK VAT. The 20% UK VAT rate will be activated once you have selected the United Kingdom as country on the checkout page.

For British consumers we will arrange and pay import duties and customs clearance fees and remit VAT from orders placed at laptopwithlinux.com to UK Customs. In other words, the price you pay to us for the order is ultimately the total price you pay for the product and delivery. So you do not have to pay any import duties or customs clearance fees upon receipt.

UK Registered Busines

United Kingdom businesses liable for VAT do not have to pay the 20% UK VAT to us and pay the VAT on receipt of the package to DHL Express and then reclaim it from HMRC. Enter a valid UK VAT number in the VAT ID field on the checkout page.

There are no import duties applicable to our products to the UK. Please note that a customs clearance fee of GBP 11.50 is applicable.
