Anyway, breaking down the VAT from 1000 euros, that's a taxable amount of 840 and 160 of German VAT at 19%.

So applying the Italian one, 840 + 22% = 840 + 185 = 1025 euros

So the difference in VAT between Germany and Italy represents 2.5%

In the meantime, thanks

So if I buy for 1000 euros I shouldn't have to pay the difference between German VAT and ours

Thanks again

No, it depends on how much the seller has sold this year. ....up to the annual sales threshold of Euro 10,000 (net of VAT) the VAT of the country where the supplier is established will apply.

It depends on the seller; if the threshold is exceeded, they have to charge you Italian VAT at 22% instead of German VAT at 19%.

Starting from July 1, 2021, distance sales to private EU consumers will be subject to VAT at the rate in the country where the goods arrive; the rule does not apply if distance sales of goods during the year do not exceed the single threshold, across the entire EU territory, of Euro 10,000.

So:

up to the annual sales threshold of Euro 10,000 (net of VAT), the VAT of the country where the supplier is established will apply;
if, during a year, the aforementioned threshold of Euro 10,000 (net of VAT) is exceeded, from that date onward, the taxation criterion based on the place where the goods are destined will apply.
