<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 3247913, member: 39&quot;]Nutshell mode: If you have a business and sell a product with a net price of say €500 to a &quot;consumer&quot;, you add the 19% and thus get €595 from that buyer. Then you pay the tax (in this case €95) to whichever part of the government collects the taxes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, there is also the concept of Difference Taxation (de: Differenzbesteuerung). That usually applies when a private &quot;consumer&quot; sells something s/he owns to a commercial buyer; think used cars or antiquities. The consumer as a seller cannot charge VAT, and the dealer will, when selling the item again, add the 19% only to the difference between what he originally paid and what he now gets. Currently the <a href="http://stb-weismann.de/en/2018/09/18/the-turnover-limit-amount-for-small-business-with-difference-taxation-must-be-clarified-under-eu-law/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://stb-weismann.de/en/2018/09/18/the-turnover-limit-amount-for-small-business-with-difference-taxation-must-be-clarified-under-eu-law/" rel="nofollow">EU Court of Justice</a> is dealing with this. </p><p><br /></p><p>Difference Taxation is, to make this even longer and boringer <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> even for the OP, also applied in a somewhat different way by many coin dealers, with coins that are imported from outside the EU. As the import tax is lower than the regular VAT, a dealer can make some kind of mixed calculation. But all this does not apply to private sales of coins ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
