JUST this week, we’ve discovered that now we are out of the EU-wide Interchange Fee Regulation, which used to cap credit card fees at 0.3%, Mastercard is now raising its fees to 1.5% for UK customers on any items bought in the EU.
Meanwhile some info for those of us residing in the EU.Getting stuff from the UK is obviously no longer going to be as cheap, but at least DS has made it simpler and easier with his DDP system. (Delivered Duty Paid). https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/terms-and-conditions/
I think my parts are part of the experiment. Ordered 07 Jan, initially they were held by UPS and then returned. CMS have since dispatched them with an estimated delivery date of 28th Jan. there were no extra charges, but they are going to N Ireland, which, if I understand the system is still in the customs union and free trade area.If you leave the club, you can't expect to continue enjoying the benefits! I'm moving to France; not because of #@%$, but to avoid all the ferries from NI when I put my retirement plan into effect.
And to complicate matters further the VAT procedure from 1st July 2021 is due to change:-Imported consignments of goods not exceeding £135 are subject to sales (supply) VAT instead of import VAT.This should be charged to the UK consumer by the UK or non-UK seller in the checkout at the point-of-sale.The seller must then report and pay the collected VAT through a regular UK VAT return.A simplified customs declaration will still be required. Goods above this value are be subject to VAT and customs in the old way. https://www.avalara.com/vatlive/en/vat-news/uk-post-#@%$-vat-on-e-commerce-b2c-imports.htmlSo I think we pay the sales VAT directly to the seller instead of the shipping company or Royal Mail.I suppose this makes things a little easier in the UK when buying stuff from the EU and vice versa...
