  1. Mandatory VAT Collection
    As per EU Council Directive 2021 effective after July 2021, Reflx Lab now collects Value-Added Tax (VAT) at checkout for all consignments ≤€150 destined for EU member states. The applicable national rate (typically 17-27%) will be automatically calculated based on delivery destination.

  2. Tax Administration
    We fulfill fiscal obligations through:
    • Monthly electronic VAT declarations to EU tax authorities
    • Full remittance of collected VAT amounts
    • Automated customs documentation generation
