Hello and welcome to my UK customers. Before you purchase from me there are a few new rules that the UK have put in place that you need to know:
- If your purchase is less than £135/€150 (not including postage) I have to add VAT at point of sale. (The VAT rate for my sales is 5% of the cost including postage). I send this quarterly to UK Revenue & Customs.
- I am also required to send a VAT invoice to you showing the amount of VAT in £ sterling, which is calculated using the HMRC exchange rate.
- If your purchase is above £135/€150 I cannot collect VAT when you pay me. Instead, your postal provider will collect VAT and any other charges. Usually you will get an email/SMS with the amount due (and any handling fee) saying how you can pay.
- If you want to go ahead and make a purchase in excess of £135/€150 then please email me first to avoid paying VAT twice and also to work out the most economical postage arrangement. I can then send an invoice to you without the added VAT.
- Please always include your email and phone contact for customs forms.
- Please also note that what your invoice amount will be the total you pay. You will not get any other surprises.
- Your paper work will be 1 VAT invoice, 4 customs invoices and 3 commercial invoices. Customes will likely inspect the paperwork but so far no boxes have been opened.
- Any questions then please send me a message.
If you have any queries please send me a message and I will do my best to help you.
