New Tax Laws Assist The Movie Fan!
Foxx is having some difficulties with his PC at the moment and has asked me to post this on his behalf. As a movie fan recently unable to bring nothing but freebies back from the states due to ridiculous tax laws, I’d say this is a great bit of news for not just the holidaying movie fan who wants to bring some cheap product back into their home country, but also internet shoppers too. It’s more specifically for us Brits, but the new rules will have varying effects throughout the rest of the world’s tax barriers too.
From the BBC’s website:
Internet shoppers will not have to pay customs duty on items they have bought for less than £105 from outside the EU.
The change, which comes into force on 1 December, extends the duty-free limit for goods bought online from £18, HM Revenue and Customs says.
The move will benefit thousands of consumers who buy items such as DVD players from the US, which have a 14% duty rate.
VAT will still be charged on most items that cost more than £18.
“Whether you are looking to get your hands on the latest computer game, designer clothes or DVDs, it is important to be aware of the law on customs charges, especially as this is about to change,” said Doug Tweddle, of HMRC.
If only this had come in sooner then I would have walked away from my time in NYC with every series of NBC’s The Office as the boxsets were ridiculously cheap at the time I was over there, instead of just my free copies of Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, You Don’t Mess With The Zohan and Feast II.
