Yes, if you caluculate all the taxes on everything we buy, our Overlords get a hefty chunk of everything imported and made in the UK. Add to this the tax you pay on your earnings to enable you to buy stuff then it gets pretty damn like daylight robbery......

Once you have calculated duties & vat, how do you pay them assuming you are using a freight forwarder like world global?

The EORI number is not as long winded now from what I can see, I generated one the other day just using my Gov Gateway which took less than 5 minutes, and to my understanding this number never changes, you just use it indefinitely. I thought it was just a number allocated to you which ties you as an individual into the customs/VAT and so they can find you for any unpaid duties.

Just applied for an EORI number today. Actually, now HMRC have greatly simplified the application. They take most of your contact details via your National insurance, or UTR number. A few tick boxes regardiing VAT, no mention of goods or values (I think they rely on the forwarder to check packing lists/invoices). I was shown my number immediately on submitting. They state it might not be active for 5 working days though.

Great video. So even though we are not VAT registered (below threshold) we still are charged the VAT for incoming products and cannot get reimbursed for them? I am confused as to what the difference would be being VAT registered, surely we don't pay VAT twice?
@FBA-Elite5 жыл бұрын
Thanks Shane, correct - before you are VAT registered you pay VAT on purchases but don't charge it on your selling price. When you become VAT registered you have to charge VAT on the selling price but can claim back the VAT you have paid. Here is a recent video where i cover VAT in more detail: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jM9-YLeWzr2mmX0.html

Anyone's got any ideas?

I applied for Amazon handmade and my company is outside of UK and EU. In Turkey. We produce our own handmade products. If I apply for VAT and EORI number without creating a company in UK for VAT filling , can I use an online simple accounting service to submit VAT? When I sell a custom product, we simply make it and sent like ETSY. Amazon is different. ETSY or instance gives us its own IOSS number. Amazon does not do that. Amazon does not do that VAT itself for handmade stores. That is really weird.

I was notified of the following invoice from the Courier, without requesting the service, although I had already paid a shipping fee to the supplier: can I still request to handle the custom duties myself or does it not worth the hassle? NOTE: the total value used for calculation of all Duty-based fees is 0.00. Government Charges: 9.68 Brokerage Charges: 11.50 Freight Charges: 0.00 VAT: 0.00 Total GDP: 21.18
