Recargo de equivalencia is a VAT (value-added tax) scheme, that is mandatory for unincorporated Spanish retailers who do not carry out any kind of processing on the products they sell.
Spanish retailers that are part of this scheme are identified by their VAT numbers. As the recargo de equivalencia is a mandatory regime, Faire will automatically include recargo de equivalencia on transactions between applicable Spanish retailers and Spanish brands.
You can update your VAT number on your account settings page.
Once you have entered this information, recargo de equivalencia rates will be automatically added to your Faire orders with Spanish brands.
