CMSL - Import Duties/VAT
royhall:
However you look at it we're paying more and there's no way around it. Hopefully it will all settle down soon.

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. ;D

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.

So 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...

i´say it depends if the seller is a private person or a company.
BTW: linky no worky

Oops,
sorry about the previous dodgy link I posted, here's another one that hopefully works, but it's a wee bit out of date as the new VAT legislation is actually intended to be effective from 1st July 2021.
"HMRC has announced that it will abolish the LVCR with effect from 1 January 2021 and are proposing to make all imported goods up to £135 in value liable for domestic VAT rather than Import VAT – thus shifting the point where VAT is collected from the time of importation to the time of supply to the customer."

(It's also possible to find official info about this on the EU website in other languages.)
Hope this helps

Looks if your tax authorities are completely taken by surprise by #@%$.
Edit: nice auto-correction!
