Small review on "ht-hosting" and how do they apply taxes
Long story short. I usually do not post anything bad and do not say bad words about providers, but this case is special. Would say it's a "scam divorce".
I do have a VAT ID, so in general, it allows me to revert taxes, so it should be 0%.
I've created a ticket with some questions and asked to add my VAT ID, so it could be reverted, it was done by support but in the end, I can see, the same price, but just the field with VAT has gotten removed.
Here are the proofs: https://imgur.com/a/3MWp09R
Of course, I've contacted support regarding this, on which I've received the most dump reply that I had over the past 10 years (2 times the same text, but in different languages). I do not understand German and do not have any clue about "Germans" law, but that's not really about that, right? We're in the EU zone, so we should follow the global "rules"

If you have an EU VAT number they should just remove the 19% VAT. (Reverse charge on EU VAT)
Charging 19% extra instead of VAT is fraud.
On the other hand I live in Denmark and still charged me the 19% German VAT. Which I of course don't complain about but find weird since it's normally 25% otherwise.
Also, I ordered a Ryzen system which turned out to be a old EPYC one. I figured through a YABS but find it unsettling that this could happen and someone who doesn't benchmark their servers could be paying for something they don't get. I did get transferred to the correct one.
Yeah, this is what about I was speaking. Instead they just hided "VAT" and still i need to pay it as price is exactly the same
You can check CPU model also by checking /proc/cpuinfo
If they sell for less than €10000/yearly to consumers in other EU countries they can charge the local VAT rate (19%) and pay VAT to Germany. Otherwise, they have to collect and pay VAT (25% in Denmark) to each EU country.
lol have you ever been in an airport duty free shop
