What this means for your pricing in Germany
German sellers should model VAT completely separately from commission: on a €30 sale the 9% commission (€2.70) and 19% VAT are different lines with different rules. Because the January 2026 rise nearly doubled the old 5% rate, pricing set before 2026 is almost certainly underwater now.
Worked example: a €30 sale
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Sale price | €30 |
| Commission (9%) | −€2.70 |
| Affiliate (10% example) | −€3.00 |
Then subtract your product cost, shipping or FBT, and expected refund cost. Run your exact numbers in the calculator.
Heads up: Germany figures reflect public reporting as of October 5, 2026 (confidence: Medium). TikTok revises fees often — always verify your category rate in Seller Center before setting prices.
