    19.98+((19.98+6.00)*0.21) = 25.4358

    20.75+((20.75+6.00)*0.21) = 26.3675

    16.62+((16.62+6.00)*0.21) = 21.3702

    All right to me, assuming they are third party sellers. :)

    No links to items or details on what promotion was applied so going on what info you have given it looks normal to me.

    If the item + delivery cost is over €22 you pay vat at 21%

    First two, the item cost alone exceeds 22 Euro.

    Last item cost + postage exceeds 22 Euro, don't think the shipping discount is deducted from the overall value when calculating the IRE VAT (total before VAT figured quoted)

    ^^^ You still have to pay VAT on delivery even when it is discounted! So what else is wrong?
    Was the Items price changed for removing UK VAT?

    If third party seller the price may not exclude UK VAT!



    Edit: - People getting VAT Free items have a Prime Account with free shipping.

    The Digital Services Act 2024 [EU] ~ Social Media and You ~ Nanny State guidance for parental monitoring of apps ~ Censorship: - broad laws that will probably effect Adult use of same.

    The daft thing is it said free delivery,so why add, then VAT it, then apply free delivery charge and then remove it!

    Postage alone makes items dearer on Amazon.de

    Cancelled them and will ponder it! They already fleeced the account but all orders successfully cancelled

    Garage tools lads, nothing else!

    that may be true but Amazon is adding the Irish vat once you buy a product with a value greater than £23.94 so they are collecting the VAT under 6 euro even if Irish Revenue isn't asking for it

    well, if you try this item on amazon.
    it does take UK VAT off when you place an order to Ireland.

    It’s €5.50ish, so they are probably just being careful.

    This is no longer a bargain alert but rather a online buying discussion. Please go to the online buying/consumer affairs forum for further discussion about VAT
