Electronics shops in EU?

[MacIntoshCZ]

Hello,
i just wanted tu buy something in mouser for first time. Parts cost around 25 $. But shipping another 30$. So i bought more parts for around 35$ for free shiping.
BUT i need to pay extra 21% taxes in CZ. Nice
Does anyone know any electronics shop in EU? Germany, Poland etc? I used to use tme/gme in CZ.

I don't see how you expect it to help? - you're still charged VAT on the order anyway, which is presumably what the 21% is (it's 20% here).

The only difference is if you order from an EU member (and you're in the EU), then you pay the VAT to the supplying country, and not your own - but you're still paying the VAT on top of the price.

Parts at mouser are compared to smaller shops more expensive. Shiping is costly. I just wanted to know where others members from EU buy parts.
If i can find better deal.

Most companies list prices excluding VAT, and add it at the invoice stage - it's usually only retail outlets that have VAT inclusive prices.

This makes sense, as most companies reclaim the VAT (so essentially don't pay it), and if your prices include VAT then you have to relabel everything if the VAT rate changes. At one time in the UK we had three different VAT rates

Nigel, please do not say it in loud voice! We have 21% for most of goods and for a few, 10,5% (some electronic components included).
We do not need more creativity.

Our tax system makes of us the target of most of 160++ taxes in force.
