.... Regarding the HMRC fiddling exercise.The total cost of the parts
including postage was £206.93 so I assumed this is the figure that would be used to calculate rip off Britain taxes.
So….. first of all they add on Customs Duty on to the £206.93. Then, they add on the postage cost that is written outside the parcel (£27.87). Then, they add on the VAT.
The result being, I have paid VAT on top of the Customs Duty (a pish take but I was expecting that) but then to take the pish even further they charged VAT on the original cost
(including postage) and then added VAT onto postage again
It only meant a difference of £5.57 extra VAT but if they are doing this 1000’s of times a day, that’s a nice little earner.
