VAT on overseas items to uk

.merlinkid1 — Fri, 15 Jan 2021 18:49:55 GMT

Can someone explain to me why I have to pay VAT on an item under £135.00 when it says on the HMRC number 143 document that this should not apply to imported items.

Thanks!!!!!!

£135 limit no longer applies.

The £15 exemption is not now there

Starting 1 January 2021, eBay is required to collect VAT on certain orders delivered to UK addresses:

Orders up to £135 sent from outside the UK
Orders where the item is located in the UK, but the seller is not a UK seller

You'll see the VAT included in your order total at checkout, and you can view and download a tax invoice from the Order details page in your purchase History

Blame those who voted for Brexit, bet they didn't see this coming as a consequence!
