So sometimes I get charged and sometimes not. If stopped we then also get an extra charge from the shipping company for handling it too. So on small items the charges can be far more than what was paid for the item! To be honest that side of things in not a problem. It is the fact our government wants the sellers in other countries to register with the UK for VAT and do the collecting of tax for them at point of sale and then forward that to the UK quarterly for smaller items below £135 that does not seem sensible. Otherwise I think it stays the same if above £135 and the taxes are collected at our border customs.

VAT is generally charged at the border, at the same time as customs duty and uses the price determined by customs. Anybody - seller or buyer - been paying that so far? A good thing about Brexit is you can clearly see the governmental BS instead of having it deeply buried in Brussels.
