Post Brexit import experiences
It's safe to assume that it's not so much a "can't be bothered" thing but rather a, "we've been getting away with it for so long why change" kind of situation. Sticking to the facts: We've seen that the receipts from before and after BREXIT shows VAT disappearing. The "worlwide price" and the...- Bat02

Those apply to companies selling goods in the UK. The Act actually details all the cases and is consistent with everything else we found, meaning as a company: - Your price can't be ambiguous. - It can't change between the start and the end of the buying process. - The applicable VAT should be...- Bat02

Taken from the UK Consumer Protection Act (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2005/2705/made?view=plain): "Part 2: Actual price to consumer 2.1. Indicating two different prices 2.1.1. The Consumer Protection Act 1987 makes it an offence to indicate a price for goods or services which is lower...- Bat02

I agree with you and here's the reason why: if we're trying to map the current revenue streams for Aero, it probably goes something like: Local direct sells: Brick and Mortar. Online. International sells: online. Exports to third party vendors (Epaulet, TheRake, Thurston...). Manufacturing...- Bat02

I'm not even sure we're interpreting the " the supply of exported goods is zero-rated provided the conditions in this notice are met" correctly. Still from the UK gov site : "Zero-rated means that the goods are still VAT-taxable but the rate of VAT you must charge your customers is 0%. You still...- Bat02

The key point in our disagreement is the interpretation of the non applicability of the VAT being an open choice. As I understand it, it’s not up to them to decide in an international sale scenario. They have to deduct it if the price is VAT inclusive. And if it's VAT exclusive, it can't be the...- Bat02

Just for context: I ordered from them last year, I paid the price listed on their site. The invoice clearly showed the price breakdown and that the listing price is the VAT inclusive price (as most UK shops) so unless this has changed, this statement is false. International sales should not be...- Bat02

Then no sorry it’s all perfectly legal. I mistook it for the whole “not declaring the item at full value when sending” thing.- Bat02

If we’re 100% honest, unless the price you quoted is correct one both are shady. The logic is different but the same as the VAT discussion. You’re helping the buyer circumvent possible duties and tariffs by improperly representing the value of the goods so the state is losing money in this. I...- Bat02

VAT collection and incorrect invoicing. If you invoice your customer stating no VAT was collected but he can prove that you collected VAT then there’s an imbalance between his invoice and the company balance sheet. You flawed your customer because he had to pay VAT twice and you falsified your...- Bat02

Well to be fair this is illegal, at best you’re flawing your clients, at worst you’re flawing your clients and committing tax fraud. I guess being a small business helps flying under the radar but it seems risky- Bat02

Yes but that’s the whole issue, if the price is really excluding VAT then are the prices on their site excluding VAT ? If they’re VAT inclusive then it’s false to say no VAT was collected during this sale. I shouldn’t have to pay VAT twice. You’re making a wrong assessment between their VAT...- Bat02

Just to restate, « worldwide price » isn’t a thing. They’re either collecting VAT or not collecting VAT when you’re buying the item. If they’re collecting UK VAT, it should be deduced when they export it to another country for the applicable VAT to be applied by the customs upon entry. Customs...- Bat02

They were doing the same to non-EU customers before so I guess I’m complaining like a good douche just because now it happens to me. I’m just puzzled how they could be getting away with it as this could have legal ramifications. I’m guessing it could also be transparent for the UK as they may...- Bat02

Sharing my experience with Aero; I bought a jacket from their sale and they shipped though DHL to France. I didn’t have to pay duties but I did have to pay French VAT which makes no sense to me as Aero’s price already includes UK VAT if I’m not mistaken (at least it did pre-brexit). As others...- Bat02
