How the Margin Scheme Works

The rule under Section 25a of the German VAT Act (UStG) applies to second-hand goods that a dealer has acquired from private individuals or other sellers not entitled to deduct input VAT. In that case, VAT is not charged on the full selling price but only on the difference between the purchase price and the selling price.

What This Means for You

No VAT is shown separately on the invoice, so input VAT cannot be deducted. For private customers nothing changes; for businesses wishing to claim input VAT, however, this note is important.

Warranty and Returns

The form of taxation does not change our commitments: We provide a one-year warranty on pre-owned watches, the 14-day right of return remains unchanged and we cover the cost of the return shipment.
