# VAT on Terminal hardware orders in the UK and Europe

Stripe charges value-added tax (VAT) on Terminal hardware delivered to the United Kingdom, EU member states, Norway, and Switzerland. The VAT treatment depends on your delivery address, entity type, and whether you provide a VAT number at checkout.
## United Kingdom
Stripe charges UK VAT on Terminal hardware delivered to a UK address as a UK domestic supply of goods.
For deliveries to mainland Great Britain, Stripe charges the domestic UK VAT rate of 20%.
Stripe provides a valid tax invoice, where applicable, to support VAT recovery.
This VAT treatment applies only to Terminal hardware. Stripe services, such as Payments, Tax, or Radar, continue to be provided cross-border from Stripe’s establishment in Ireland.
## EU member states
Stripe delivers Terminal hardware from warehouses in Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland to certain EU member states. Your invoice shows the VAT country and rate.
### If you provided a valid EU VAT number at checkout
VAT at 0% applies as an intra-community supply, provided your VAT number is registered in an EU member state other than the country from which your order was dispatched. You must self-account for local VAT in your country under the reverse-charge mechanism. The VAT country shown on your invoice reflects the country from which your order was dispatched.
### If you did not provide a valid EU VAT number at checkout
VAT is charged at the standard rate applicable in the country from which your order was dispatched:
* Orders dispatched from the Netherlands: Dutch VAT at 21%
* Orders dispatched from Germany: German VAT at 19%
* Orders dispatched from Poland: Polish VAT at 23%
### Domestic supplies
If Stripe dispatches your order from a warehouse in the same country as your delivery address, domestic VAT rules apply.
**Netherlands:** Dutch-established businesses with a valid Dutch VAT ID at checkout may benefit from the domestic reverse charge. Stripe does not charge Dutch VAT, and you must self-account for Dutch VAT in your own return. Where no valid Dutch VAT ID is provided, or the business is not Dutch-established, Dutch VAT at the standard rate (21%) is charged. If you believe the domestic reverse charge should apply to your order, [contact support](https://dashboard.stripe.com/login).
**Germany:** German VAT at the standard rate (19%) is charged, regardless of whether a VAT number is provided. You may reclaim this as input tax through your German VAT return.
**Poland:** Polish VAT at the standard rate (23%) is charged, regardless of whether a VAT number is provided. You may reclaim this as input tax through your Polish VAT return.
You receive a valid tax invoice, where applicable. This doesn't impact services provided by Stripe (such as Payments, Tax, or Radar), which continue to be provided on a cross-border basis from our establishment in Ireland.
## Norway and Switzerland
### Delivery to addresses in Norway
Stripe charges the applicable domestic Norwegian VAT rate (25%).
### Delivery to addresses in Switzerland
Stripe charges the applicable domestic Swiss VAT rate (8.1%).
## VAT invoices
The commercial invoice included with your shipment is for reference only. It is not the official invoice or receipt for your order, and the VAT amount might not be accurate.
