About Tax
Ordering & VAT Information
At Mittsu, we strive to make ordering as seamless as possible, especially following Brexit. To better serve our EU customers, we have added a warehouse in Germany. Here’s what this means for you when ordering tiles:
Business Customers (VAT-Registered)
• Germany: You’ll pay German VAT, which we report via our DE VAT return. You can reclaim it as usual.
• EU (outside Germany): If you provide a valid VAT number, no VAT will be charged.
• Europe (Non-EU): We export the goods, and you’ll handle local import taxes.
• UK: We invoice using our UK VAT number.
• UAE: We invoice using our UAE TRN.
• GCC (Non-UAE): We export the goods, and you’ll handle local import taxes.
