PayPal and VAT |
PayPal and the European Value added tax (VAT) |
Many thanks for your interest in purchasing Adiscon products via PayPal. Please note that we can not accept PayPal payments from customers inside the European Union. That is the reason why EU countries are not in our PayPal country list.
We apologise for this. We are forced to do so due to the overly complex tax laws within the European Union. If you are from within the EU, please visit our online shop to purchase the products. The online shop does correctly handle European Law. If you absolutely need to purchase via PayPal, please contact info@adiscon.com - we can handle this process manually in this case.
Note: This only applies to you if you live in one of the EU countries.
