Got some parts today from the good old USofA, well had to go and colect 'em, I had a note through the letterbox telling me that I owe money before they can deliver the package  :(.
I bought a SECONDHAND sprocket and stem and was charged VAT by our wonderful Customs people, is this right, surely I should'nt pay VAT on used good?  :angrysoapbox:
If they were trying to sting me for import tax etc. I could understand but VAT?
Any ideas or has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks in anticipation,
Andrew

This government will try to hit you at every turn  >:(

But I would question it, it normally comes to about 10%

Is it Parcelforce  ???

Frosty:
unfortunately they don't care if the goods are used or not if they are being imported from outside the EU!!

andrewthomas197:
Bloody con.........
Phoned 'em this morning and they said just that, you pay VAT on anything over a value of £18.
So lets get this right you pay VAT when its new, and then every time it's subsequently sold  :daumenhoch:. Good work if you can get it...... :rant:

Frosty:
The issue is that it has been imported from outside the EU, so would not have suffered vat previously, even if it is 20 + years old!!
