Moderators Janice Arthur Posted February 20, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Pedro Not to diminish answers here but start with Google search to gov sites that will inform u and also ask seller for what he/she knows about it U may not need to pay it if buyer maybe he does? It could be 10 scenarios Good luck. JA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Guille Moreno Posted February 22, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hola Pedro, El VAT viene a ser el IVA. Las empresas o autónomos pueden pedir darse de alta en el registro de operador intracomunitario, o algo así, en la Agencia Tributaria. Para poder facturar a nivel internacional. Con este numero de operador intracomunitario, que es el número VAT que el vendedor te esta pidiendo, y viene a ser el CIF o NIF con alguna variante, no pagas el IVA de tus compras fuera de España. No sé si sólo funciona a nivel europeo, o tambien en EEUU. Si no eres autónomo o empresa, me temo que tendrás que pagar el IVA de tu compra, simplemente le dices que no tienes número VAT y el vendedor añadirá el IVA a tu presupuesto. Espero que esto te sirva de algo, Saludos y suerte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
