United Kingdom

I want to buy a t-shirt and a calendar from a place in australia.
A friend told me that I would have to pay a tax to recieve the parcel , I live in the UK , is this correct that I would have to pay extra money over and above paying for the items and postage ?

any info is appreciated.

We in the UK are extremely fortunate. The most fortunate pay the most tax but we have also had the greatest benefits. It makes me sad when I hear people whinging about and complaining, since the UK is GREAT ! We have the best society in this world, we have the highest wages in this world. We have a great government presiding who we were wise enough to elect. Sure, we do pay some tax, but so do people in many other countries and they get much less for it. When in the UK we are doing well we pay more, when we work in low paying jobs we are supported up to our needs. When we are ill we have a great national health service. We are truly priveleged ! Sure, it's a chore complying with red tape and paying tax, but it well worth it in the long term. Sure our dearly beloved island nation is not perfect but it is the best place on this planet, thinks me ! Come on all you people out there, appreciate our great fortune and fair deal ! Come rain or shine UK people stand together ! Welcome to UK !

I have recently ordered goods from America. I got a letter today saying that I had to pay VAT on the item, which is fine. The only problems is that I have been charged £18.60 for the VAT, when the cost of the items was only £80. £18.60 is more than 17.5% of £80. Why have I been charged this much, it is more than actual VAT? The letter also says there is no import duty, just VAT?

Hello,

Prior to our getting married, my husband had taxes that he owed on that he began paying, he is still currently paying on them. My question is, now that we're married - if we file married, but separately, I can't claim my interest paid on student loans, nor can I claim the child expense (so I'm told). It was suggested by an HR Block representative to file jointly, but that I also file a separate injured spouse form so that my refund doesn't get garnished to pay his back tax. Is anyone familar with this?

How much would it cost to bring a Hummer H2 to the UK from the US? Im not planning on buying this particular verhicle, however, me and my friend are trying to see if it would be cheaper to import a car from america than to than buy it from here in the UK. So we using this as an example.

Does anybody know the shipping and Import Duty cost on it or how to work it out?

Some info:
The Hummer H2 is 2903kg net weight.
Distance from NYC to London is about 5500km
The Hummer H2 Costs around $55,000 in America.
The same Hummer H2 costs around £38,000 in the UK ($78,089.61)
Cheapest shipping possible.

Its definately more expensive to buy a car in the UK so thats why we want to know if its worth buying from abroad.

Thanks

I am thinking to buy a textbook (2 volumes) from amazon Canada and even with the shipping costs it works out at £180 compared with £291.21 if I buy it from amazon Uk.
So would I have to pay VAT, custom duty or any other charge on the books when I receive the items in UK?
