As part of the economic stimulus package to combat the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the German government has decided to temporarily reduce the VAT rate from 19% to 16%, effective from July 1 through December 31, 2020.
What does this mean for INGATE customers?
We will of course pass the tax reduction on to our customers in full. Starting July 1, 2020, all invoices will be issued at the reduced tax rate of 16%. No action is required on your part — the change will be applied automatically.
Period and Scope
The reduction applies to all services rendered between July 1 and December 31, 2020. This covers all INGATE services:
- Colocation and server housing
- Bare metal servers and root servers
- Managed services
- Cloud infrastructure
- One-time services and setup fees
Return to the Standard Tax Rate
Starting January 1, 2021, the standard VAT rate of 19% will apply again. This transition will also be handled automatically by our billing system.
