Why is the Euro version much more expensive than the US version?

The Euro Pro version i can buy here for 204,95€which with todays exchage rateis $240,41 .
The US version is $199 which with todays exchage rate is 169,65€.
This is quite a difference.
I only can recommend people living in the Euro area to pay with your credit card in US-Dollar.
They will charge you a little fee but still a lot cheaper.
This does not work if you need it for a business

Qualified guess, LB price plus VAT?

But only if you have a business. As a privat person you don’t care about VAT.

Hi.

Welcome to the LB forum @Beethoven :slight_smile: .

Well, I’m one of those private persons who does care a lot about VAT.
And I guess that I’m not the only one :wink: .

The threshold for when you must register for VAT is approximately 6,700 Euros (converted from DDK) for all business owners here in Denmark and approximately 10,000 Euros in Germany. The VAT rate is 25% in Denmark and 19%, in Germany. (7% for food, lucky Germans)

When must a company pay VAT?
When purchasing goods, companies deduct VAT (purchase VAT), and when selling, VAT is added to the price (sales VAT). Most companies and self-employed persons must register for VAT if they trade in goods or services for payment. However, banking, insurance and education, for example, are exempt from paying VAT.

Private individuals always pay VAT.

What are you going to tell me ?

Not in this case.

I’m trying to explain to you that you pay VAT on LightBurn (just like on any other product) when you buy it and that it has nothing to do with LightBurn. That’s what you asked about in your first post in the title.
If for some reason you don’t have to pay taxes in the country you live in, that’s fine with me.

If i buy the licence here online and pay $199 it does not include my countries VAT.
It’s not related to the country you live in. What’s so hard to understand.

As I wrote before, if you don’t have to pay VAT in your country, that’s fine with you, unfortunately the rest of us have to pay it.

I’ll write it one last time:
if you use the legal way to buy LightBurn in Europe/EU, the price includes VAT.
