The calculation of the price ranges is recalculated as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Our <strong>pricing<\/strong> function can also be used to quickly process the item.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ATTENTION TRAP:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do not reduce your offer prices by 3  %!

The answer is illustrated by the following calculation example:<\/p>\n<p>Net price + VAT = gross price<\/p>\n<p>19  %:  \u20ac10 + 19% (\u20ac1.90) = \u20ac11.90 100% current offer price<\/p>\n<p>16  %:  \u20ac10 + 16% (\u20ac1.60) = \u20ac11.60 97.48% of the original price<\/p>\n<p><strong>You should therefore only reduce your asking prices by the difference of 2.52%. <\/strong>Otherwise you may face a loss in times when the German economy is to be strengthened and Germany&#8217;s economic power is to be unleashed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When doing the reverse calculation on January 1st, 2021, also pay attention to the corresponding increase of 2.59% in SnapTrade<\/strong> so that you are sure to reach your original offer price again.<\/p>\n<h2>This is how the transition succeeds!<\/h2>\n<h3>Pricing: Reduction of minimum price by 2.52% in SnapTrade<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14621 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"598\" height=\"597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade-2.png 598w, https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade-2-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade-2-36x36.png 36w, https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade-2-180x180.png 180w, https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade-2-120x120.png 120w, https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade-2-450x449.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Price calculation on the article: Change VAT rate<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14618 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade1-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"703\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade1-1.png 703w, https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade1-1-300x102.png 300w, https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade1-1-450x154.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 703px) 100vw, 703px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Price calculation on the marketplace: change the VAT rate<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14619 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"893\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade2.png 893w, https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade2-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade2-768x292.png 768w, https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade2-705x268.png 705w, https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade2-845x321.png 845w, https:\/\/www.snapsoft.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Screenshot_2020-06-23-SnapTrade2-450x171.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 893px) 100vw, 893px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In view of the consequences of the corona pandemic, the federal government has agreed on a temporary reduction in VAT.
