European margin scheme for refurbished
Refurbished products can also be offered under the so-called European margin scheme. This applies to products that were originally purchased without VAT from a private individual, because a private individual cannot and may not charge VAT.
Because we work with various companies that specialize in purchasing and refurbishing, we largely work with VAT products, but margin products are also offered. Margin products have a lower price, making them extra interesting for private purchase. For business purposes, products with VAT are more interesting because the VAT can be reclaimed. You recognize a margin product by the mention on the product page.

From VAT to margin product
If a new device is supplied by the manufacturer and/or supplier, This is always a VAT-borne product. If a private individual or non-profit organization purchases this product new, the VAT is paid by the manufacturer/supplier and can then no longer be recovered. The product purchased by a private individual has then become a margin product.
Business purchase
When purchasing an IT product for business purposes, it is included in the company's accounting. The VAT is settled and when the IT product is sold to another company, the remaining VAT amount is paid back to the tax authorities. Through this transaction, the product remains a VAT product. If another entrepreneur wants to purchase this product, this can be settled on a subsequent purchase. If this product is put up for sale as second-hand/used/refurbished, then this product falls into the VAT product category. If the product is purchased by a private individual, it is and remains a margin product. The purchased product can then no longer be converted into a VAT product.
Private purchase
As a private buyer it is not important to compare the two financial options. There is no possibility to reclaim any VAT on the product from the tax authorities. When looking for a suitable product at Maxicom, you as a private individual can purchase both a margin and a VAT product.
Margin product as a business purchase
It is different when you apply a margin for business want to purchase a product. A margin product is not provided with the VAT benefit. Look carefully at the price differences, margin products may seem 10% cheaper, but if there is no 21% VAT in the price, in this example you have a reverse difference of 11%. At Maxicom we indicate on the product page whether it concerns a margin or VAT product.
