How to avoid sales tax buying Native

[CosmoDovel]

Buying from Denmark, do I really need to pay US taxes?

 

Thanks!

That's not US taxes, but your local VAT, so yes, it must be charged as you are importing.

 

The only bad thing here is that Line 6 didn't implemented a proper ID VAT field for professionals, so that they could legally detract the local VAT. But if you are a consumer, you have to pay the VAT, no way to avoid that.

I checked on this, and you are actually right - as in 100 % right. Thanks!

You gotta pay VAT over here (generally in all of Europe) anyway. You can just get some (or all) of it back through your tax declaration. In Germany it's 19%, so all you need to do is to calculate 19% from the Helix Native price - but in my case, it was on the bill already (simply got added to the €99 it cost back then).
