• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Back in Service for EU-Customers!

Mathias

SOH-CM-2024
Hello everyone,

you all may have heard about the new european VAT law for digital downloads that forces us to apply the individual VAT percentage of each customer's country.
This new law goes along with a quite considerable administrative expense that is put on the seller's end that forced us to stop sales to EU-customers beginning 1.1.2015.
Anyway, we mastered the hurdles and are now back in business for our European neighbours. :D
Note customers from Germany or non-EU-countries were not affected from the service outage anyway.
The bad news: EU customers will have to pay the VAT that is valid in their home country which is in most cases higher than the previously applied German VAT.
And to top off the information: Customers from non EU countries still don't pay VAT (let's see how long it lasts, oh well!)

Greetings and a beautiful "first of May" to you all!

EDIT: where is my "S" in "ervice"??? :)
 
Good news Mathias.

They should have harmonized or regulated the different VATs on a higher level first before introducing this mess.

Anyhow, glad you were able to sort this out. Let me hand you over one of my spare S for your ervice :)


Cheers,
Mark
