Re: [meteorite-list] New UK VAT Requirements

2021-01-12 Thread Anne Black via Meteorite-list 
Something is not clear.

Are you saying that the 20% VAT (collecting, registration,...etc) applies only 
to sales valued at LESS than L135 (Roughly $180)? 
But does not applies to anything with higher value, regardless of value?  

I got the impression that it was the opposite.

Please clarify.

Hi Mike, 


Yep, sadly correct if the value is less than £135. Crazy! So you as a vendor 
would have to register for VAT with UK authorities, charge and collect 20% VAT 
on behalf of the UK government then file quarterly VAT returns and pay the UK 
government what you've collected on their behalf 


Madness! 


Cheers from across the pond.

Hi Roberto,

No, as a business you can't falsify the declared value amount.  We've 
lost some sales over the years because we use the actual declared value.

Just make sure everything is over £135 that you sell to the UK then

It's not the extra cost it's the hassle and work it makes for sellers
that's the problem.

[meteorite-list] All shipments to the UK are hereby suspended until further notice.

2021-01-12 Thread Galactic Stone & Ironworks via Meteorite-list 
Hi List,

In light of new tax regulations brought on by Brexit in the UK, I will
no longer accept orders from the UK.

I don't want to do this, but it just isn't worth it for me to start
learning a whole new raft of regulations just to conduct a tiny sliver
of my business.

I have some good friends in the UK and I realize these new regulations
will impact their own ability to collect - it's probably a headache
for everyone involved.

Hopefully, cooler and more sensible heads will prevail and the UK will
reconsider this new policy. Until such a time, I cannot ship any more
orders to the UK.

Best regards and everybody try to keep your heads up in 2021.  :)

MikeG

Hi Mike,

Yep, sadly correct if the value is less than £135. Crazy! So you as a
vendor would have to register for VAT with UK authorities, charge and
collect 20% VAT on behalf of the UK government then file quarterly VAT
returns and pay the UK government what you've collected on their
behalf

Madness!

Cheers from across the pond.

Attention Dealers:


I just received the following from stamps.com

Effective Jan 1, 2021, value added tax (VAT) must be collected for all
goods entering the United Kingdom (UK).

There will be a 20% VAT rate on goods valued up to £135 (about $180
USD), which you must collect unless your online marketplace (e.g. eBay,
Amazon, Etsy, etc.) is already collecting it. Current procedures for
goods valued over £135 remain the same.

To prevent your UK shipments from being delayed, held, or returned
by UK customs in 2021, please take the following steps:

1. Register for a VAT number with the UK.

2. Collect VAT at the time of purchase.

3. Make quarterly VAT return payments to the UK.

In addition, you should include your VAT number on your customs
declarations.
