A reduced VAT rate of 16 percent still applies in Germany until the end of the year. Anyone who decides to purchase a prefabricated garage from ZAPF GmbH now can benefit enormously from this tax reduction. Important: The new garage must be assembled on the construction site by December 31, 2020.
In order to boost consumption again in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, the German government has temporarily reduced the VAT rate, among other things. Garage manufacturer ZAPF is naturally passing the tax reduction on to its customers one-to-one. “The price reduction applies to our new garages as well as to modernization services for existing garages,” says Ralph Raggl, Head of Sales at ZAPF GmbH. Anyone who has been considering a prefabricated concrete garage for some time should definitely take advantage of the tax reduction now, as it can save a lot of money. “The decision to build a new garage or modernize a garage should therefore not be put on the back burner. The prerequisite for the lower tax rate is the date of performance and not the date of the order,” emphasizes Raggl.
This means that the new prefabricated concrete garage must be installed by the end of the year at the latest. Any garage modernization must also be completed this year. As a specialist for prefabricated garages, ZAPF not only stands for high-quality products, but also for excellent all-round service. For the company, this also includes completing an order as quickly as possible.
Nevertheless, garage buyers should be aware that it can take several weeks to months from the initial consultation to installation. Although a prefabricated concrete garage is completely assembled within a day and can be used immediately, there is preparatory work that varies depending on the building site. In particular, the foundations must of course be laid in advance. The customer can either organize this themselves or order it from ZAPF.
“Each garage is planned individually according to customer requirements, from the technology to the design elements and interior fittings,” explains the Head of Sales. The situation is similar for the modernization of existing garages. Here too, the first step is a consultation and a check of the property. Only then can the ZAPF team get to work. The advantage: as all the work is carried out by ZAPF, even extensive modernization usually only takes a few days.
Anyone thinking about buying a prefabricated garage can use the ZAPF garage configurator at configurator.garagen-welt.de to virtually create their dream garage. “Of course, interested parties can also arrange a free, no-obligation consultation with our ZAPF experts directly,” explains Ralph Raggl. The same also applies if garage owners are considering renovating their garage. During the personal consultation, not only are more precise product and service details discussed, but information is also provided on the estimated time until delivery or completion of the modernization work.
