VAT on your badges - Thanks Brexit
Now Mr Farage has got his way, you'll no doubt all be pleased to know you'll be charged VAT on any badges purchased from the EU and brought into the UK:
Not sure of the full implications yet, but see extract from the PO: "When receiving goods from abroad, recipients may have to pay VAT and duties. The VAT and duties will be applied depending on the type and value of the goods. For gifts over £39 and goods over £135, Royal Mail may collect the VAT and customs duties on behalf of HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). from the recipient prior to delivery. Letters, postcards and documents are usually exempt." https://www.royalmail.com/brexit Oh, and happy new year....

Buy from USA - Pay ridiculous postage charges. (and according to eBay listings today "+ 20% VAT will apply").
Buy from UK Auctions - Pay VAT , Buyer Commission , High postal charges. Buy from EU - Possibly pay VAT depending on value of item. If you are unhappy with any of the above you have a choice - Buy or not ? .

Fair enough but I'll wait to see "the full implications" and then I'll decide if I am willing to pay extra for items I am after , as I presently do with auction sales.

As with all these votes, you shouldn't moan about those who did vote but those who didn't and then moan they didn't get what they wanted.

Before VAT there was Purchase Tax which was introduced in 1940 and was basically a tax levied on "luxury items" !
The tax was subsequently set at differing rates dependent upon individual items' degree of "luxury" as determined by the government of the day. .

How many of us specifically voted to leave so that we could get those 'penny-pinching Remainers' out of the badge market, thus more lovely badges for our own 'Brexiteer' collections?
I know I did - I had no interest whatsoever regarding the future direction and prospects of our great nation, I just wanted more decent shiney items for my collection!! (The above is in jest before a political bun fight begins!) |
