Yes, this is possible. In this case, the buyer has two options for structuring the transaction:
Option 1 — Purchase without VAT under a confirmed export arrangement:
If the buyer wants the order to be processed without VAT, the application of 0% VAT must be agreed with us before payment and before the goods are handed over.
At this stage, the buyer must provide all necessary information required for the correct arrangement of the export transaction, including information about the exporter, consignee, route, and intended method of export.
The export declaration must be issued in the name of the buyer or their authorized representative in such a way that, after the goods leave the European Union, we can obtain official confirmation that the specific goods purchased from us have actually been exported outside the EU.
After reviewing the information provided and approving the export arrangement, the order may be processed with 0% VAT, provided that all applicable conditions for the zero VAT rate are fulfilled.
Option 2 — Payment with VAT and subsequent VAT adjustment:
If, at the time the order is placed, there are insufficient grounds to apply 0% VAT or the export arrangement has not been agreed with us in advance, we may charge Estonian VAT on the invoice.
After the goods have actually been exported outside the European Union, the buyer must provide us with official documents confirming the export of the specific goods purchased from us.
After receiving and reviewing the supporting documents, we may consider adjusting the VAT and refunding the corresponding amount to the buyer in accordance with the applicable tax rules.
If the required documents are not provided, or the actual export of the goods outside the EU cannot be confirmed, VAT will not be refunded solely on the basis of the buyer's statement that the goods have been or will be exported.
The mere fact that the buyer is a company registered outside the EU, or states an intention to export the goods, is not sufficient grounds for supplying the goods without VAT.
In both options, the buyer is solely responsible for arranging the export, completing the necessary customs formalities, and complying with the requirements of the destination country.
