The equivalent surcharge is a special VAT scheme for retailers who do not carry out any kind of processing on the products they sell; for self-employed retailers who sell to the end customer. It applies both to natural persons who are self-employed and to communities of goods, and in no case applies to industrial activities, services or wholesale trade.

For the retailer it is classed as a higher VAT tax, in exchange for not having to file VAT returns to the Treasury. In this case you pay VAT directly to the supplier and simplify your VAT management. It only applies to invoices of goods corresponding to merchandise or goods, never services. It is the merchant who must notify the supplier (LoveCherry®) of their tax regime, so that we can include the equivalent surcharge on their invoices.
