Allo.
Just realised I'll probably have to pay VAT on some perfume I bought as a gift for my sister from america, which I hadn't thought of previously because I frequently by things from outside of the EU. But I have only just learned perfumes are taxed. The total cost of the perfume was £11.81 and the postage was £11.86. Bringing it to a total of £23.69. From what I've read I'l have to pay 20% of the final cost.
However I ordered it to get delivered to my home address (not uni address) and so I won't be there when any mail or the gift arrives, and I was wondering if anyone has gone through this process before? And how exactly it all goes.
Thanks.
