Vistaprint strives to provide you with the most affordable delivery fees possible. One way we can do this is to source many products from printing facilities within the European Union.

As a result, we are required to apply Value Added Tax (VAT) to all sales (and corresponding Shipping & Processing fees) supplied from EU facilities and delivered to customers located within the European Union.

For more information, please refer to our VAT Rates and Policy.

Since January 1, 2015, a new VAT law applies for the sales of digital goods (e.g. websites) to consumers. Due to the new VAT law, the selling company is required to charge the VAT rate of the country of the consumer.

For more information on Vistaprint products and the applicable VAT rates, please refer to the following VAT Rates and Policy.

At the moment in which you place an order with Vistaprint, it is not clear if the printed goods meet the zero rating requirements to qualify for the lower VAT rate. As such, Vistaprint charges the general VAT rate on all printed matters to avoid charging the incorrect VAT rate to customers.

If you feel your printed product does qualify for the lower VAT rate, please contact us and request that the VAT (difference) be refunded.

Legally, delivery costs are considered part of the entire supply of goods, and so VAT must be added to the delivery charge.

The VAT rate of the delivery of the goods is the same as the rate that is applied to the product purchased.

If you would like to check the validity of your VAT ID in advance, you can use the online verification tool on the European Commissions VIES web site (VAT Information Exchange System).

If a problem is preventing validation, this check will explain the problem and suggest a solution.
