Re: Should not have Netherlands VAT ...
to be fair it does sorta say that on the manifest - but its confusing and probably caused the problems
'value' stated at USD $182.30 (usd isnt a great start from a eu base to uk company
'county of origin' Thailand - again unhelpful and possible WTO rules of origin then apply? but i guess necessary
then at totaliser it says: TIOTAL EXT value USD$ 182.30
plus TOTAL BILL (PRICE VALU) 0.00
so is that VAT they've charged at GBP£33.62
xe USD-GBP lets say at that time was about 1.38
182.30 USD > £132.10 - so VAT uk rate 20% (or netherlands 21%) is £26.42
if my xe is approx correct 33.62 is around 18%...
so WTAF????
thats duty not vat right?
oh no duty is only erm *checks notes*
Type and value of goods Customs Duty
Non-excise goods worth £135 or less No charge
Gifts above £135 and up to £630 2.5%, but rates are lower for some goods - call the helpline
Gifts above £630 and other goods above £135 The rate depends on the type of goods and where they came from - call the helpline
are they just making it up?
