(11) Rule for arbitration proceedings causing exceeding workload for the arbitrators: The fees granted to the arbitrators according to this Schedule of Costs are calculated to cover the average workload in arbitration proceedings. In cases as specified in Art. 25 (4) of the ELArb Arbitration Rules though, these fees may be subject to a reasonable reduction or appropriate increase. The respective decision shall be made by the competent body of the ELArb Arbitration Center at its sole discretion. However, the total amount to be awarded to the arbitrators shall not exceed the amount as calculated according to No. 1 through 9 (as the case may be increased according to No. 12 and/or No. 14) by more than 50%.

(15) Expenses of Arbitrators: Reasonable expenses of arbitrators shall be reimbursed to the arbitrator at cost plus VAT, if applicable according to the VAT law applicable to the arbitrators (in some cases, such VAT may be reimbursed at the end of the proceeding upon proof of an exemption to the competent tax authority, see below No. 17).
(16) Expenses of the ELArb Arbitration Center: General administration of proceedings by the ELArb Arbitration Center is covered by the ELArb-administration fee. All expenses of the ELArb Arbitration Center for the service of documents and other costs caused by the proceedings (including e.g. translation costs) shall be reimbursed at cost. While the ELArb Arbitration Center is able to communicate in English, German, Portuguese and Spanish, submissions in languages other than English will have to be translated at cost into English unless all parties, the arbitrators and the management of the ELArb Arbitration Center agree otherwise. Until such consent has been reached, the ELArb Arbitration Center shall decide at its discretion to be exercised in light of the circumstances of the case, what it will translate during the initial stage of the proceedings.
(17) Value Added Tax: In addition to the costs set forth above, the parties shall be liable for Value Added Tax (VAT). The initial invoice of the ELArb Arbitration Center shall be issued with German VAT. Parties from member states of the European Union, outside Germany, may request a refund and a corrected invoice without VAT if they prove to the ELArb Arbitration Center that they have a valid VAT-ID-number in their local jurisdiction which entitles them not to pay VAT in Germany. In such case, the ELArb Arbitration Center will refund the VAT after it has received it back from the German tax authorities. If the VAT-ID- number is already communicated and proven at the time of the issuance of the initial invoice, such invoice shall be issued without VAT. Parties from states outside the European Union may claim a refund directly from the German Federal Central Tax Authority (Bundeszentralamt für Steuern, www.bzst.de) upon proof of the conditions for a refund as set forth by that tax authority. For arbitrators to which the VAT law of a member state of the European Union is applicable, this regime applies by analogy to the VAT on the arbitrators’ fees. For arbitrators from other jurisdictions, the applicable VAT regime determines on whether or not there may be a claim for restitution of the VAT from the competent tax authority.
