He is asking because kid's shoes are VAT exempt.

Amazon asking me to pay an import fees deposit on kids shoes, surely this will be refunded to me after it gets through customs?

You will most likely be automatically refunded in a few weeks. If not, contact Amazon and they will refund you.

Correct and wrong. The list price of the item that the vat/duty is being calculated has already included UK VAT. Amazon needs to remove UK VAT from the included list price, recalculate Irish VAT/Import from the list price to get the correct price.

Ok, so take this watch:

amazon.co.uk/Timex-Expedition-TW4B04400-Chrono-Gunmetal/dp/B01CKUQG5U

It's marked as a prime day deal.

Going to an Irish address:

Items: GBP 58.32
Postage & Packing: GBP 0.00
Import Fees Deposit: GBP 13.41 (This is 23% of the item price above)
Total: GBP 71.73
Promotion Applied: -GBP 14.32
Order Total: GBP 57.41

Going to a UK address:

Items: GBP 58.32
Postage & Packing: GBP 0.00
Total before VAT: GBP 58.32
Estimated VAT: GBP 11.67 (This is 20% of the item price)
Total: GBP 69.99
Promotion Applied: -GBP 25.99
Order Total: GBP 44.00

Notice how the item price for both addresses is the same before two different IFD/VAT are added depending on the country it is being delivered to? Why would the be adding VAT to the UK address, if as you are saying, the 58.32 already includes UK vat?

plhealy2000 · 21-06-2021 9:37am

The problem doesn't seem to be the VAT but the value of the discount.

In the example above the discount is 25.99 v 14.32. They seem to be reducing the discount by the UK VAT amount.

This and the small VAT rate difference makes up the difference between delivery to Ireland and UK.

Our Philips one cooks a full 1.6kg chicken and doesn't get stored because it gets used so often. There are Boards threads on them already if you're looking for advice on them.

Yeah they are great, was looking at this one, but the VAT sort of stops it being any sort of deal

The bigger the discount from list price the worse the saving.

Irish VAT is calculated on the full list price as opposed to the Prime Day price. Iv added a few things to my basket and theres barely any saving. Its a joke!!!!

If people get anywhere on the chat with having their import fees refunded ye might post on here and let us know.

I've gotten it back a month later, I was told to wait until the item arrived and then I had to contact again and got it.

Is there any restriction to the £10 spend on primer day voucher we got for spending with small businesses. Email confirmation I got doesn't have a link to t's & c's and I'm trying to buy something now but not seeing the voucher get applied at checkout.

When I had my account with my Irish address it removed some of the prime deals entirely.

Ended up having to update to UK address to get 4k stick at the prime day price.

Bit of a pain. Oddly signed into amazon de and it failed to acknowledge I am a prime member.

Prime only applies to the site you bought it off, if you are a Prime UK member thats not cross applicable to .de, .es, .fr, .it etc

Also, if stuff isnt listed when your delivery address is set to Ireland but is listed when its set to UK, it means they wont deliver those products that are unlisted to Ireland.

I’ve found it’s actually cheaper to sign up for the free month trial on .de and get it there. Even paying the postage. It works out at about 70€ versus 90€ the U.K. way

First time in years that I have not bought anything on Prime day. Normally by this time would have spent a couple of grand. Extremely disappointing.

The new distribution Centre is still under construction and will be a while before it up and running. Was at it yesterday.

ablelocks · 21-06-2021 10:46am

this is the email address i was given by chat agent to send examples of pricing issues to :

resolution-uk@amazon.co.uk

Has anyone successfully got the price to reflect the discount being applied before the deduction of UK VAT and addition of Irish VAT?

Also the promotion is not fully applied

With an Irish address

Have also contacted the pricing resolutions team about the duty issue. Tried to buy 2 bottles for €22, it was pricing at €30 after the duty was added to the original non discounted price.
