Taxation policy on our site.
At Smart Solution 2030 SL , we are committed to providing transparency and clarity when it comes to taxes and fees. As a company based in Spain, we are required by law to apply a Value-Added Tax (VAT) of 21% to all orders placed by individuals and businesses within Spain.
For orders placed by businesses from other European Union (EU) countries with a valid VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) number, we will not apply VAT to the invoice According to the EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC. However, it is the responsibility of the recipient to report and pay any taxes due in their home country.
For orders placed by individuals from other EU countries, we are required to apply the VAT rate of the customer’s country of residence in accordance with the European Union’s VAT rules. This means that the VAT rate applied to the purchase may differ from the standard rate of 21% that we apply to orders within Spain.
For example, if a customer from France places an order with us, we will apply the French VAT rate to their purchase. This ensures that we are in compliance with EU tax regulations and that the customer pays the appropriate amount of VAT based on their country of residence.
Please be aware that for orders placed outside of the EU, the customer is responsible for paying any taxes, customs duties, or additional fees that may be imposed upon importation of the products. These charges are not included in the price of the products or shipping costs, and must be paid directly to the relevant authorities in the destination country. It is recommended that you check with your local customs office for information on any applicable fees prior to placing your order.
For example, if you are located in the United States and place an order with us, you may be required to pay customs duties or taxes upon receiving the shipment. The amount of these fees will depend on the value of the products and the specific regulations in your country. As the customer, it is your responsibility to ensure that all necessary payments are made and that all customs regulations are complied with.
We understand that taxes can be confusing, and we want to make sure that our customers have all the information they need. If you have any questions or concerns about our tax policy, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Our team is dedicated to providing excellent service and support to our customers, and we’re always here to help. Whether you’re looking for more information about our tax policies, or you need assistance with a specific order, we’re here to provide the guidance and support you need to make informed purchasing decisions.

We would like to inform our customers located within the European Union that the applicable VAT rate in the country of shipment will be added to their orders. For instance, if a private customer from Germany, where the VAT rate is 19%, purchases a document priced at 89.00, the final cost will be 105.91 (89.00 + 19%). If you have any questions or concerns about our VAT policy, please do not hesitate to contact us. We strive to provide our customers with transparent information and exceptional service.
During the checkout process, if you are an EU-based business customer, you will have the option to enter your valid VAT identification number. This number will be validated against the European Commission’s VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) register, which verifies the validity of VAT identification numbers of businesses registered in the European Union.
Once the validity of your VAT identification number has been confirmed, your purchase will be subject to the VAT exemption regime for EU business-to-business (B2B) transactions. This means that we will not charge VAT on your order. Instead, it will be your responsibility to account for the VAT on the purchase in your own country according to the applicable reverse charge mechanism.
Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that your VAT identification number is entered correctly and is valid. Failure to provide a valid VAT identification number will result in VAT being charged on your order.
Please note that if your company is not registered in the VIES register, we will apply our national VAT rate of 21% to your order. In this case, you will not be able to deduct the VAT from your invoice, as it will be considered a simple operating cost. We strongly recommend that you register for a VIES number to benefit from the VAT exemption for EU B2B transactions. This will allow you to provide your VAT number during checkout, which will be validated in the VIES register to confirm its validity. Once confirmed, your purchase will be exempt from VAT under the EU B2B VAT exemption regime. If you have any questions or need assistance with registering for a VIES number, please do not hesitate to contact us.

When placing an order for delivery outside the European Union, please note that the prices on our website exclude VAT. This is because orders shipped to non-EU countries are considered as export sales, and are therefore exempt from the EU VAT. Please also be aware that your order may be subject to customs duties, taxes, and fees levied by the destination country upon importation of the products. These charges are the sole responsibility of the customer and are not included in the product or shipping prices.
It is important to note that the customs procedures and fees vary by country, and it is the responsibility of the customer to understand and comply with the regulations of their country. We recommend that you contact your local customs office for more information on the specific fees and regulations that may apply to your order.
Please be advised that we are unable to provide any estimate of the amount of taxes, customs duties, or other fees that may apply to your order. It is recommended that you consult with your local customs office or a professional customs broker for an estimate of these costs.
