Cosmicblue Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 EU firms refuse UK deliveries over Brexit tax changes So every company in Europe that wants to do business with the UK will have to to register with the HMRC as VAT will be collected at source - well our negotiation team really thought that one through...add to this that EU hauliers don't want to come to the UK and we have some challenging times ahead.

I believe this is actually an "EU thing" that is due to come in later this year so would have happened anyway. Can't see those with any size of export to lose objecting. I notice the examples used were a Dutch small retailer of cycle parts and a Belgian craft brewer Edited January 4, 2021 by Yellow Bear added info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don’t want to sell to us then so be it. Lucky they can be so picky and have full order books. The article mentions two companies. That’s two out of how many?

Dave-G Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Maybe more like they don't like the loss of our funding and have to make up the funds themselves - and yes it must be awful to have to fill out some forms that were created by EU bureaucracy.

That would be my preferred option also, especially when buying American goods "made in USA".... but sadly a lot of their manufacturing industry has been outsourced abroad with the inevitable decline in quality.

oowee Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Same for stuff from here. Any order that leaves the UK will now be sent EXCLUDING VAT and will likely be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied by the destination’s local authorities. 3 hours ago, Walker570 said: Had 4 years to get ready.

Exactly how it works when you sell to non-EU countries...lemmme see, 20% (or more) VAT, or say, 11% import duties and fees but there's some paperwork. Which would you pick? What's baffling is why we're being charged VAT to buy from the EU at all. But HMRC were never going to miss out on an opportunity of an earner.

Me to 👍 Ironically it's a UK company (Brookes saddles I believe) who were bought by an Italian company (Sella) who (and this is the dumb part) ship all of the UK made goods via their Italian warehouse even those which are destined for the UK!!!! But as someone else mentioned, I'd rather buy USA goods with the exception of Beretta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
