I've just been charged VAT for a chinese company on an Item under £15 (£4.69+94p VAT)

[rgthomas70]

Therefore, for imports the consignment will remain subject to import VAT (unless it is below the Low Value Consignment Relief threshold of £15) and supply VAT should not be charged.

you have charged me VAT I should be exempt from your countries VAT of 13% as I'm not resident in your country

& my country's 20% I'm under the threshold of £15, I would like the partial Refund of £0.94

I'm sure the Inland Revenue in UK will want you to pay ALL Vat you have charged paid back to england, as your company is not UK resident

I think You have made an error, or was this EBAY as my item was under £15.00p therefore are you going to refund the VAT or did EBAY force you to charge this did they take the vat or did you pocket it ???

I know this is a small amount but only UK registered companies can charge VAT, Technically you are breaking the law charging UK taxes, and this item is EXEMPT as under £15.00p

There is no Low Value Consignment Relief threshold of £15 anymore the gov removed this on 1st Jan,all purchases from overseas sellers are now subject to supply VAT which is taken at source of payment if under £135.

You are registered in UK and subject to above ruling

There is no point in complaining to your seller in China. They have nothing to do with import duty and VAT in the UK.

EBay is now collecting VAT on behalf of HMRC for certain transactions. The whole thing is still very unclear.

So if you want to complain, complain to eBay.
