Dnk Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm possibly missing something but how can an item valued at £23.44 get an import vat charge of £6.77 ? Shouldn't it be £4.69 ? Whats really ***** me off though is a clearance fee of £13.50 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Think it depends what the item is. Different classes of items have different charges but that does seem a bit steep. Clearance fee is a bit of a joke. Can't remember having many of those tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Surely vat is vat, import duty varies depending what the item is I'm not impressed with the clearance fee and never been charged one before, robbing b astards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 What was the postage I think vat may go on that too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Lool for the thread on fitting nee dadh buttons. People were paying circa £60 for the buttons, and i think another £25 in fees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 What was the postage I think vat may go on that too? Why should you pay vat on the postage ? Your not importing the postage ffs It doesn't workout right on that either, should have been £7.65 if vats on the value of the item and the postage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 VAT is also charged to the shipping cost, the way around that one is to ask the seller to charge shipping separately. Whatever charges may have been dreamed up, if you don't shut up and pay up, you'll never see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
