Will we get charged tax / Vat from EU to UK now?

[TheDecameron]

I wouldn't say 25-30% on everything i buy from the EU is just a bit.

And that before DHL etc, have slapped on their "charge what we like" custom and handling charges.

Coupled with the depressed value of the pound against the Euro and other major currencies and that’s even before importers start to pass on costs for extra red tape such as the wage bill for the army of 50,000 new customs pen pushers.

I knew EXACTLY what I voted for, along with everyone who voted leave .

Not even close to being remotely true. The rest of your post isn't worth quoting or for that matter reading.

So true....

 

[awkwardbydesign]

It certainly is. Do some research.

Done that. And campaigned against it.

If you buy from me on any and amazon, there is zero change for you in uk other than there will be a customs document on the box.

But from my website is a different story. It is still not clear to me yet what needs to be done - it is likely I. The short term uk customers will end up paying full price incl our local vat and then more vat in uk.

How did Coronavirus impact GBP to USD?
The GBP to USD exchange rate fell 12% within the space of two weeks in March 2020. Investors sold the Pound in favour of the perceived safety of the US Dollar.

I still blame Brexit for everything.
If only we could go back to the good old days of 1972.

The Pound to Dollar rate reached a high of $2.649 on 6th Mar 1972.

wonderful example of how to quote facts in a vacuum.

It was presumably in that campaign that they taught you to assert things which are so entirely untrue with such shameless certainty.

Give it up.

It may not be long before the Daily Mail is offering free booze cruise trips to Calais.

No. It isn't. Look it up.

Yes it is. Look it up.

 

[Sloop John B]

Oh Lord, we do have a naive one here with what amounts to tax nomenclature

And would you care to enlighten me rather than ridicule me?

The duty-free allowances would not really make them attractive and I have yet to find anything online that makes it clear whether VAT will be payable on all booze, or duty-free is also VAT-free.
Duty-free limits are easily found in terms of total costs and in terms of litres, but no definitive mention about VAT.

If it had been ridicule, there'd certainly be no smilies.

Suffice to say that a tarriff charge is not VAT and duty is yet another form of taxation again.

Well that’s enlightening!

It will get stopped on its way in

Errr.... No it won't, Ireland still in EU.

[wiresandmore]

And if it does get stopped there’ll be a processing fee in addition to any VAT and duty.

No it won't, we (in Ireland) just pay Irish VAT on Amazon.de, just like we used to on Amazon.co.uk.

Great if you want to buy wine from the limited variety of stuff on the boat. If you want to buy from the wider choice available in merchants or supermarkets in France the duty-free allowance has in fact been reduced from 120 bottles to 36.

I was talking about imports to GB.
