The kicker is the €150 mark. After this you're subject to Custom charges as well, at 8% iirc. A quick way to check is to add a quarter of the cost of the item (in euros) then add 10% more. Its rough as a Bear's backside ut will give you working figures. I'm still buying stuff from the UK though. Even with the charges it can be cheaper. Bought a second hand mirror for my car a couple of months back and between the cost of it, shipping and VAT it came ot €76. The same one here was costing me between €125 to €140, with a new one at €255. My only concern is gifts. There is a limit of €45 on gifts. So if someone sends me something as a gift and its over €45 its subject to VAT and/or customs.

If it is sold or made in EU then taxing outside goods is protectionism. Protectionism is something the EU claims they are against and all for free trade. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

The other half said there was a good piece about the VAT rate on the radio this afternoon. Seemingly its a EU thing and not a fall out from Brexit, it's just now that the UK is gone out of the market that we will feel it. Will this finally close the Chinese Internet market ?

Someone has to pay for that, us . Same in other supermarkets i suppose too. Aldi and Lidl are not stocking the amounts of goods they were, several of the middle aisle special offers are not in stock as they cannot get the stuff in. P.s. Premium unleaded 1.66 a litre today !

Bog Trotter99 wrote: » Going off topic here but the EU's attempt of trying to teach the UK a lesson and warn any others thinking of leaving........... By charging Irish citizens extra money for goods purchased in the UK and by stopping half the goods we always saw in our shops is not business as usual. The EU has restricted our normal life and dictated on who and what we can buy and spend our money on/with. They have also made goods rise in price in the shops or be unavailable to Irish citizens and businesses. They have dumped on Ireland from a great height. If the UK citizens wanted to leave that is up to them. There is no way us in Ireland should be penalised because the EU cant accept it. Brexit rant over.
