Deutsche Post and DHL are to pass on the temporary VAT reduction that forms part of the German government’s stimulus package to its customers, whereby value-added tax (VAT) in Germany will be reduced from 19% to 16% for the regular rate and from 7% to 5% for the reduced rate for the period July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The price of numerous domestic and international products and services will fall accordingly, impacting for example postal and parcel products such as Plusbriefe and Packsets as well as the ExpressEasy product for private customers, which is available in selected retail outlets and via DHL’s online franking service. The VAT reduction will also apply to business-customer products which are subject to VAT, including letter mail communication, as well as parcel, dialogue marketing and Express products. The reduction in VAT will, however, have no impact on universal postal services such as individual letter mail items and parcels up to 10kg (without additional services). These products are categorized as universal postal services covering basic postal needs and as such are exempt from VAT by law.
