I'm not getting the VAT rules.
Surely if we're/I'm buying from the EU my purchase shouldn't include the EU VAT, or vis versa for someone buying UK goods in Europe. So its (VAT) cheaper at point of purchase.
With all these stories it appears that VAT is being added on at both ends ... along with the import/export taxes and administration and duty and delay surcharges and gazumped freighter costs and ...
I had a quick read about it the other day, the UK Gov want people selling to the UK to process the VAT at source then send the VAT to the taxman. All the other costs are as you say grabbed at point of import.
It seems if you want to sell to the UK you need to set up a VAT account and then manage it monthly, some companies have stopped exporting to us due to this, one argument I saw is that we're the only country worldwide that has implemented this process, if everyone did it then import/exports would be totally unworkable.

I was thinking along the lines of buying something that comes from Germany.
In the past VAT was charged in Germany and nothing more was said.
Now it seems, with the price on the website the same, Germany is still getting their VAT but the UK government is charging VAT as well. So it is charging VAT on the goods and the VAT.

Looking at the picture it looks like they were capable of putting things in cardboard boxes/taking them out of cardboard boxes and sending and receiving them in exchange for money under the existing (EU?) Regulations.
Presumably they'd mastered the system as they'd been doing it for a while.
Their problem seems to be that the UK'S exit from that import/export system is bogging them down, maybe they should move to Europe, per the UK government's recent advice.
Got to wonder who to blame for this situation.

And the tories thought there would be no problem putting a border in the Irish sea
Problem is the German retailer now needs two prices.
EU price (inc German VAT)
U.K. price (minus German VAT) then U.K. VAT added and a proportion of admin “fee” added.
Say you have 1000 lines on your website, you’ll have to update all that.
Plus the forms that need filling in. TOTAL BOLLOCKS.

Although I voted remain in 2016, I have to admit the EU has been really slow at rolling out the Covid-19 vaccine in comparison to the UK has this got anything to do with brixit?
I'm relatively certain that the UK would have always had it's own vaccine approval process (MHRA) but I'm not sure how our procurement would have went.
I think it's likely we'd have went separately from the EU even if we were still in (or not on the verge of leaving anyway) but not sure I've seen that confirmed either way, and I'm not sure why I think that as I'm not sure any EU countries did procure separately... :dunno:

I don't think it's the EU's mess to sort
