Hello friends,
I'm thinking of buying a rather expensive course online, which would cost around €300. However, you can specify any country you're buying from. The thing is, if I specify the USA instead of Germany, I'd save myself the 19% VAT. That would bring the whole thing down to around €245.
My question: Is this legal, illegal or a gray area?
Greetings 🙂

Loading...Hello everyone, I have the following problem. A week ago I wanted to pick up a parcel, but had overlooked the fact that I wasn't supposed to come until the next day. The employee then said to me if I couldn't read in an inappropriate tone. My answer was a rather sharp "can you talk…
Hello, For paid meals, 20% is deducted for breakfast and 40% for lunch and dinner. What confuses me is whether this is deducted from the single-day/multi-day expense rate (€14/€28). That would mean that food would be more expensive on multi-day trips? greeting
Can you apply for both or only claim one of the two?
Dear Forum, I work in a rehabilitation center as a ward assistant, and I think I made a mistake recently. A patient asked me if I could get him something, and he told me not to worry and to keep it between us. Now I've received a letter and have been invited to a staff…
What is illegal about it? The question of the country of performance has only civil legal consequences, because the course provider determines its gross price according to this indication. That’s why it’s absolutely irrelevant to tax law, what you say to a country.
Example:
So if you would now state land X instead of Germany, you would only have to pay €1,100, so you save €90. However, since the German tax rate does not change the price you have to pay in the end, the tax is no longer calculated from 1.190 €/1,19*0,19 (i.e. 190 € USt), but from the other base, namely the 1,100 €/1,19*0,19 (i.e. 175,63 € USt). The tax rate remains at 19%, only the basis of assessment is changed.
The tax office basically doesn’t care what price is paid now, but most likely the price provider doesn’t find that great. However, this is a purely civil matter and not a tax law.
Thanks <3
No problem:-)
Where would you order? If you add another country, you would normally be able to enter only one address in the country in question? If there is an address, there is a risk of customs, that could be problems due to fraud.
It is an online course 🙂
Of course it’s illegal. Of course I can’t say how high the danger is to fly. But a serious company should check this.
Thank you. I don’t know about that
But you run the risk that the provider works with a geoblocker, i.e. the course can only be seen from the given country – would then be a classic shot in the knee.
A tax penalty procedure could also speed you up.
The question is, who would notice that? I don’t think of the American provider. I don’t think PayPal is. Maybe the bank?
First of all, if the geoblockers are using, you will notice and the money is sunk.
In the financial flows, I would not rely on how to balance them at the end – and usually there are rather stupid coincidences such as plausibility that you do not notice, for example check out in the Paypal, from which country you charge the payment.
As long as you don’t have to enter your real data and the payment method is anonymous, such as Paysafecard, then it goes. Your IP alone is not enough to prove it. ;
I want to pay with Paypal 🙂
At Paypal they have your data except you know someone from the USA.
Have already, but want to spend no xD
Once you have 250 euros, you will have 300 euros. ;
Well, the fun is so expensive enough xD
I’m probably saying that all the rich and elites are behind billions of taxes and that’s completely legal. Why shouldn’t the “small man” also benefit from slip holes?
If you’re going to be safe, you’re gonna give your real place of residence. I mean, 50 euros more are not the world now. You have 50 euros quickly.
So it is basically illegal to state the wrong country?
