Re: Import Duty / Tax
Thanks Sara,
What I was actually after is the £145 gifts limit, what do you pay if you go over this? is it the VAT rate at 17½% on anything over £145? |
Re: Import Duty / Tax

Re: Import Duty / Tax
If it is sometihng being posted there is a limit of ~£18 before HM C &E get interetsde. This is why a lot of CD/DVD comanies post them seperately as each one falls under the limit

Re: Import Duty / Tax
Whatever you're after, just shove it in your suitcase and don't declare it. Just hope for the best. Haven't heard of anyone been stopped at customs in a long time.

Re: Import Duty / Tax
Its going to be a £400 (ish) item, I just wondered what it would cost if I got stopped, then seeing if it is worth buying abroad or here.
Its not being done by post |
Re: Import Duty / Tax
Think you just have to pay the VAT on the item

I have been stopped and searched coming back from non-eu countrys, they do still do it. Your baggage tag will be completely white without green or blue stripes so they know you haven't been in europe, even if your connecting flight came from europe. I nearly got caught with a new laptop just because of the difference between keyboard layouts, I had to blag my way out of that one. Anyway, the moral of the story is you nearly always get away with it. The amount of stuff I have brought out of and into the coutry is quite unbelieveable, the same with most of my ex-work mates! You have to take advantage in going to countries where they aren't taxed to death! |

There is no limit on smack, as long as the condom doesn't burst.
