11 Invoicing
You will receive the invoice for the stand area along with your free exhibitor
and work passes starting in November 2011. Please observe the terms and
conditions of payment listed under Item IV of the General Conditions of
Participation.
12 VAT refunds
Foreign proprietors from the EU may submit their refund applications to the
Bundeszentralamt für Steuern only via the online site provided for this
purpose in their respective countries. Due to the probable changes in legal
regulations, German VAT will generally no longer be charged for services
provided by Koelnmesse. The reverse charge process will be used instead so
that the location at which the services are offered is considered to be in the
recipient’s country. A VAT ID will therefore be required from all EU
exhibitors. If Koelnmesse is not provided with the exhibitor’s VAT ID and
therefore does not have any proof of business activity, German VAT will have
to be charged for the services rendered. The tax can not be reimbursed in
this case, as the legal requirements would not be met.
The VAT ID cannot be used by foreign companies from non-EU countries.
However, due to the probable changes in legal regulations, German VAT will
generally no longer be charged for services provided by Koelnmesse in this
case either. The reverse charge process will be used instead so that the
location at which the services are offered is considered to be in the
recipient’s country. If VAT is charged in exceptional cases, foreign exhibitors
from non-EU countries may use the VAT reimbursement service offered by
Koelnmesse Service GmbH (this service is subject to a fee. For information
and applications go to Marketing Services –> VAT refund Service at the
Koelnmesse-Service-Portal). Alternatively, they can send their refund claims
directly to the Bundeszentralamt für Steuern, Dienstsitz Schwedt,
Passower Chaussee 3 b, 16303 Schwedt/Oder, Germany,
Tel.: +49 228 406-1200, fax : +49 228 406-2661,
