I mainly do importing and exporting. I got a problem from some vendors outside of EU. When they shipped the goods to me through courier companies who will pay the importing VAT on my behalf, the value of goods in the document with shipment is very lower than what I paid to them. That means they send me an invoice when I paid on wich the amount is genuine. But when they sent the goods, they used another invoice with lower amount. What I concern is what should I do with importing VAT? I don't intend to evade of VAT. For me, I hope the can declare the true value. But the venders didn't for their reasons. The goods had been paid less VAT than they should when they came in UK. I think I can claim back the importing VAT as input VAT even I paid more.So the more I paid, the more I can claim back. This don't make a difference. But will this make me smuggler? What is the best solution for me?
