As such used sales into the EU, for me anyway, are not just about obsolete
But new, just pay the dealer in the usual way and all should be fine
I too am in GB's EU outpost.
I bought a guitar from the Netherlands and paid VAT in the Netherlands. No VAT or import on arrival.
I would advise checking with the supplier because there is still some difficulty for retailers and couriers working out the correct treatment.
I had agreed to sell the guitar back to the dealer but he backed out because he could not get confirmation that he would not be charged VAT becasue the guitar was coming from a UK address.
Some retailers have given up on selling to GB and NI because of the confusion.
We can still sell into the EU without VAT so used sales from NI are approx 20% cheaper then selling from GB.
I haven't looked at it too much but I don't think either Reverb or eBay can cope either.
Within a day the guitar was an hour's drive away over the border, was shipped to Sligo and then ended up in England for 6 weeks while UPS scratched their heads.
If you have any friends in Muff or Drogheda get it shipped there.
Its not a problem at all.
Used sales and even gifts are subject to VAT. If a French friend wanted to gift you a guitar you would have to pay 20% of the value on delivery.
We in Northern Ireland are unique in that we are in both VAT regimes. The Windsor Accord has made some changes but I don't know the details.
So, my French friend could send me a guitar and it would cost nothing.
Seriously cheap too.
Maybe if you was importing in great numbers then it probably make a difference,the government would think you were running a business and would want their cut.
I had my fill of VAT and INCOME TAX. So glad it does not apply to me now. At least I am not collecting it for them now.
Because they come with free Rolex now.
