Amazon warehouse - excessive vat and duty

    Just a heads up on how Amazon warehouse calculate vat and duty.

    Item new = £239 Inc UK vat £199 ex UK vat

    Warehouse price = £145 ex UK vat

    20% off warehouse = net price £116

    Free delivery - £6 value


    As the original price is over €150, duty is charged. And it is charged on the full price £205 (199+delivery)

    Vat is then charged on the full price + duty.


    So a £116 item had a £56 tax and duties cost, totally negating the discount.


    A similar item was on amazon.de with delivered cost €138.


    So one to keep an eye on.
