Welcome to Youths Glow. This Sales Tax Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, calculation, and remittance of sales tax (including Value Added Tax, or VAT) in accordance with the laws of the European Union (EU). By making a purchase on our website www.youthsglow.com, you agree to the terms set forth below.
1. VAT (Value Added Tax)
Applicable VAT Rates: As an EU-based business, Youths Glow is required to charge VAT on all sales of goods delivered within the EU. The VAT rate applied to your order will be the standard rate applicable in the destination country of the goods.
Inclusive Pricing: All prices displayed on our website for EU customers are inclusive of VAT. This means that the price you see is the final price you pay, including all applicable taxes.
2. Calculation of VAT
Destination-Based Taxation: VAT is calculated based on the shipping address provided at checkout. The applicable VAT rate will be determined by the destination country within the EU.
Example of VAT Calculation:
- Product Price (Excluding VAT): €100
- Applicable VAT Rate: 20% (example rate for illustration purposes)
- VAT Amount: €20
- Total Price (Including VAT): €120
3. Cross-Border Sales within the EU
Distance Selling Thresholds: Under EU VAT rules, if our sales to customers in a particular EU member state exceed the distance selling threshold for that country, we are required to register for VAT in that member state and charge VAT at the local rate. We monitor our sales to ensure compliance with these thresholds.
OSS (One-Stop Shop) Scheme: To simplify VAT compliance, Youths Glow participates in the EU’s One-Stop Shop (OSS) scheme. This allows us to report and remit VAT collected on cross-border sales within the EU through a single quarterly return, rather than registering for VAT in each member state.
4. International Sales Outside the EU
Non-EU Sales: For orders shipped to addresses outside the EU, VAT will not be charged. However, the recipient may be responsible for any import duties, taxes, and customs fees levied by the destination country. These charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
Customs and Duties: Please note that customs policies vary widely by country. We recommend contacting your local customs office for more information on potential charges. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the recipient.
5. Tax Invoices
Invoice Issuance: A VAT invoice will be issued for each purchase and included with your order shipment. The invoice will detail the product prices, VAT rate applied, and the total amount paid.
Requesting Copies: If you need a copy of your VAT invoice or have any questions regarding your invoice, please contact us at info@youthsglow.com.
6. Compliance with EU Regulations
EU VAT Directives: We comply with all relevant EU VAT directives and regulations to ensure proper collection, calculation, and remittance of VAT on all applicable sales.
Consumer Rights: We adhere to EU consumer protection laws, which include transparent pricing and clear communication of VAT charges. For more information on your rights, please refer to our Return Policy.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Sales Tax Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or our business practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle sales tax.
