How does the login work in the new Schukat webshop? 

Due to the system upgrade, our login process has also been modified. If you already have a customer account for our previous webshop, navigate to our login page and enter your email address there. Then click on the "Change Password" button. Once you have assigned a new password, you will be able to log in using your email address as your username. If you do not have a customer account for our previous webshop, also navigate to our login page and click on "Register Here". With an existing customer number you can go through the quick registration, otherwise please register a new account

Will my old customer account be migrated?  

Your customer data is still securely stored at Schukat, so you can simply log in with your e-mail address. In the old webshop, your login data will remain the same; for our new webshop, you will need to create a new password. You can find information on this under the question "How does the login work in the new Schukat webshop? ". We are looking forward to your purchase!

Why has my username been changed?

In our old webshop you can still log in with your existing customer ID number. In contrast, the login for the new webshop is using the e-mail address you have registered with us.

Can I view my previous orders? 

You can view your orders via our webshop in the customer account under "Order History" at any time. Please note that this initially only applies to orders placed via our new webshop. The order history shows the order number, date, status as well as the total value of the goods. You can get detailed information by clicking on the order number.

How does the filter search work? 

Quickly and easily find what you are looking for - with our new filter search, you can narrow down the search hits using various article properties. From now on, Schukat has extensive filter searches for each product category. The filters vary depending on the product area and include manufacturer, technical attributes, availability and much more.

Is there a minimum order value?

The minimum order value for deliveries within Germany is 25 €, except for sample shipments and appointment orders.

Can I consolidate orders from the old and new webshop?

Online orders from the old and new webshop cannot be consolidated at this time. Our old webshop remains online for the time being.

Can I place a blanket order for a larger quantity and retrieve individually?

You decide what and when - we take care of the rest. Arrange individual blanket or call-off orders with us and sit back and relax until delivery. We determine the lot sizes, delivery dates and safety stocks together. The term should be six months for semiconductors and a maximum of twelve months for other items. We reserve the right to adjust prices due to currency fluctuations, changes in customs rates and allocations. Simply get in touch with your personal sales contact.

I do not need the goods yet, but would like to place an order now. What can I do?

Do you need planning security? Then simply tell us your desired date for the entire order online in the shopping cart when you place your order. Your delivery will then be handled automatically and on time. Your preferred delivery date should be a maximum of six months in the future for semiconductors and a maximum of twelve months for other items. We reserve the right to make price adjustments due to currency fluctuations, changes in customs rates and allocations.

When will I receive the items from my orders that are on backorder?

An item on backorder is not currently available from stock, but is expected to ship shortly. We generally carry your backorder items for you for four months, or shorter or longer at your request. If the value of a backorder agreed with you is reached (usually 25 €), we will deliver to you after receipt of goods within Germany up to 31,5 kg postage free by DPD-Standard.

Will I receive an order confirmation by e-mail?

Following your order, you will receive a order receipt confirmation by e-mail. However, in the "Review" checkout step, you can opt out of receiving the order receipt confirmation by selecting the "Send order confirmation" checkbox. You can also check your order again at the end via the order history in the customer portal. In addition, you will receive a corresponding order confirmation in a timely manner.

Why have I not received an order confirmation by e-mail?

The order confirmation e-mail and the transfer of your order to our ERP system will only be sent after your registration has been approved. If you do not receive an e-mail within 24 hours (Mon. - Fri.) after completing your registration, please get in touch with your personal sales contact.

Value added tax

Information from Schukat electronic for its business partners about significant changes to VAT that will come into effect on July 1, 2011 in B2B trade with integrated circuits and other products.

For taxable deliveries of the goods described in more detail below, the tax liability will be transferred to the entrepreneurial service recipient as of July 1, 2011. This means that the recipient of the supply is liable for VAT, but at the same time is entitled to deduct input tax from the invoice amount.

To achieve this, the legislator added No. 10 to Section 13b (2) UStG:

"10. supplies of mobile telephones as well as integrated circuits before installation in an item suitable for supply at the retail level, if the sum of the consideration to be invoiced for them as part of an economic transaction is at least 5,000 euros; subsequent reductions in the consideration are not taken into account."

The aim of the provision is to avoid tax losses. Tax losses often occur because the supplier does not pay the sales tax shown on his invoice to the tax office and this can no longer be claimed from him as the tax debtor due to an insolvency that has occurred. The recipient of the service, on the other hand, deducts the invoiced VAT as input tax. This tax loss is avoided by the coincidence of the tax liability and the input tax deduction for the service recipient.

• You purchase goods from Schukat electronic
For the sale of goods to Schukat electronic, the new regulation means that you must issue your invoices for goods to which the reverse charge procedure applies without VAT as of July 1, 2011 and must also inform us in these invoices of the transfer of the liability for tax (e.g. by stating "The liability for tax is transferred to the recipient of the service in accordance with § 13b para. 2 no. 10 UStG"). You must inform the tax office in the advance VAT returns and annual VAT returns that you have carried out a taxable transaction in the amount of the invoice, for which the recipient of the service is liable for the VAT.

A delivery of goods, which are subject to reverse charge, is only possible, if your VAT-ID
has been checked for accuracy in our databases. We therefore ask for proof of your VAT ID.

• You’re a supplier for Schukat electronic
When we sell goods to which the reverse charge procedure is to be applied for a value of goods of € 5,000 or more, you as a customer will receive invoices from us from July 1, 2011 with items that do not show sales tax and with a note stating that the tax liability is transferred to the recipient of the service, i.e. to you. As of July 1, 2011, you must pay the sales tax on the reverse charge portion of the invoice amount to the tax office. However, if you are entitled to deduct input tax, you are entitled to deduct the input tax on the reverse charge portion.

If, despite the new provision of Section 13b (2) No. 10 UStG, you show the sales tax separately, you must pay this tax on the basis of the provisions on unauthorized tax disclosure (Section 14c (2) UStG), but we as the recipient of the service are not entitled to deduct the input tax from the invoice, as it is not a properly issued invoice. Therefore, please understand that we cannot accept invoices with erroneously stated VAT.

If you have any further questions, please contact your tax advisor.

• Reverse charge goods
An EDP-compliant implementation of the law is of elementary importance for the companies affected by it. However, integrated circuits are only vaguely defined in the UStG. Consequently, also in the first application letter of the BMF of June 24, 2011 on this. Then, on Sept. 22, the BMF further specified Section 13b.1 of the VAT Application Decree of Oct. 1, 2010 (BStBl I p. 846) in paragraph 22j: "For reasons of simplification, items falling under subheading 8542 31 90 of the customs tariff may be considered integrated circuits for the purposes of delimitation..."

Referring to the UStAE of 22.9.2011 on § 13b (2) UStG No. 10, all goods covered by subheading 8542 31 90 of the harmonized tariff of the European Community can be described as integrated circuits within the meaning of VAT law:
 

As of 22.9.2011, SCHUKAT electronic will treat goods falling under heading 8542 31 90 according to the sales tax rule concretized as of then for integrated circuits. If further goods are affected, they will be considered as soon as we become aware of them.

• Simplification rule
If there are reasonable doubts as to whether the reverse charge procedure is to be applied, the contracting parties may mutually agree that the recipient of the delivery is to pay the tax in accordance with
§ 13b UStG. This includes both the question of whether integrated circuits are involved and the question of whether the EUR 5,000 limit has been exceeded. The agreement is implied by uniform action in the course of the execution of the contract. Only in the case of a justified objection can a correction be made after the invoice has been issued.

• Transitional rule
In its letter of 22 September 11, the BMF also granted a transitional rule:
"In the case of supplies of mobile devices and integrated circuits within the meaning of Section 13b (2) No. 10 UStG that are carried out between July 1, 2011 and September 30, 2011, it is not objectionable for the supplying entrepreneur and the recipient of the service if the contracting parties still mutually assumed that the supplying entrepreneur was liable for the tax pursuant to Section 13a (1) No. 1 UStG. The prerequisite for this is that the turnover is taxed by the supplying entrepreneur at the correct amount. ..."
