Selling from UK to EU (no doubt again!)

marcuslp

Hi, can someone please clarify the current situation with selling from the UK to EU member states? I have read through numerous threads on here but can't find the answer.

My understanding is that there is still no VAT on orders under €22.00 until July 1st so I have set my automated shipping limits to £19.00 for Europe which is currently about right.
However, what happens with orders over €22.00? Are Brick Owl adding the VAT automatically or do customers get a VAT bill when they receive the items, in which case is there a handling charge whacked on top?
I have been adding the CN22 sticker to orders but so far (until today) I have had no orders over the €22.00 threshold. I have now been asked for a shipping quote for a larger order, which I have sent off but put a note mentioning VAT their end but don't have a clue how it is actually handled.

With regards to orders going the other way, i.e. in this case if I order from outside the UK, my understanding is that Brick Owl add the VAT for orders, presumably up to £135.00, but as yet I haven't ordered anything from outside the EU or from the EU this year. I'm sure this would be made clear when ordering anyway and appears to be what Brick Owl/the forum is saying.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Marcus.

Until July 1st, brick owl doesn’t get involved with VAT to the EU. That will be down to the customers customs agency.

Thanks Lawrence.

So if someone orders more than €22.00 worth of parts they will get charged VAT and possibly a collection fee at their end then?

After July 1st are Brick Owl going to collect the VAT on the customer's behalf like they do for orders coming the other way?

Yes to both, but it depends on the receiving country
