• Buying from a private individual:

When buying from a private individual, no VAT is charged on the horse itself. However, a 5% commission excl. VAT will be applied to the sale price, regardless of whether the horse comes from a private individual or a business.

• Buying from a business within the same country:

When purchasing a horse from a business within the same country, VAT will be charged on the price of the horse, in line with national tax laws. The 5% commission excl. VAT will still apply.

• Buying from a business within the EU (outside your own country):

When purchasing a horse from a business in another EU country, the horse is VAT-exempt. No VAT will be charged, but the buyer must prove that the horse will be transported to the other country. The 5% commission excl. VAT remains applicable.

• Buying from outside the EU:

When buying a horse from outside the EU, the horse must leave the EU within 90 days. The buyer must comply with customs regulations and provide the necessary documents for VAT exemption. The 5% commission excl. VAT will be charged on the sale price.
