Method of invoicing:
 Passing on the fee through invoices: Importers
and manufacturers pay Auvibel the fee when any appliance or medium of this type is placed on the market in Belgium.
Each link in the commercial chain, such as WASLET, invoices the net amount of the fee separately from the selling price.
In the end, it is only the end-user who pays the private copying fee.
Products subject to Auvibel payments: The
website at www.auvibel.be provides a list
of the devices and media that are required to pay the private copying fee, as well as the charges themselves. A list
of items not subject to this fee is also available.
Example of items distributed by WASLET:
- subject to the Auvibel fee: Digital media: CD-R, CD-RW
- not subject: CD recorder (when a computer component)
The amount of the fee is equivalent to:
- for media: a charge based on the capacity in minutes of the medium
(e.g. digital media: €0.10/hour)
- for playing devices: a percentage of the price of the device
VAT: The rate of VAT that applies to the Auvibel
fee is the same as for the product to which it relates.
Stating the Auvibel fee: WASLET invoices state
the Auvibel fee separately from the items in question by way of a specific invoicing code (WAS40 - Auvibel Fee)

Definition :
Reprobel was created on 27th June 1994 and is a cooperative that represents fifteen Belgian copyright management companies
(writers, playwrights, composers, journalists, photographers, illustrators, authors of scientific or educational works)
and the publishers (of books, newspapers, periodicals, music scores) involved. Reprobel’s aim is to collect and
redistribute to the rightful beneficiaries, all fees paid on works recorded on graphics or analogue media for the purpose
of making copies for private or educational use.
The payments made to authors and publishers are financed by a fixed fee (paid at the time of purchasing the device)
and by a proportionate fee that is calculated as a function of the number of copies made by the user (see the Reprobel
website for a more detailed explanation).
The devices covered by this fee: photocopiers, fax machines, scanners, duplicators and office offset machines where
the maximum paper size does not exceed A3.
