Safety is also a top priority for custom-built stands. You should therefore ensure compliance with the technical regulations during the planning and realisation of your own stand.

Technical regulations

The German Sales Tax legislation (UStG) as amended on 1 January 2011 provides VAT-exempted invoicing of the relevant fair-related services for non-domestic recipients. To see if you are applicable, please send us the following completed and signed form to vat@buchmesse.de.
