[Note to retailers: The following passage is necessary if you specify a flat shipping rate. Otherwise, you can remove the passage.]

The flat shipping rate is [enter flat shipping rate] euros. The flat shipping rate includes statutory value-added tax. Since the value-added tax on the flat shipping rate is calculated based on the goods purchased, it may be reduced if goods are purchased at lower sales tax rates (e.g., when purchasing books). This means that the flat shipping rate can only be finally calculated during the ordering process. However, it cannot be higher, but only lower in your favor.
