☾ Brexit / EU VAT ☾
From July 1 2021, there are changes to the way that VAT is charged for parcels going into the EU.
After brexit and until now, parcels with the value of up to 22 Euros were VAT exempt. This has now changed and VAT is now payable on all imports to the EU. (UK is no longer part of the EU)
From July 1, 2021, VAT will be charged on all commercial goods imported into the EU, regardless of value. For consignments with a value of €150 or below, this can either be charged at the time of the sale by using the new Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS), or be collected from the end-customer by the customs declaran.
Libelinha will be working to have the VAT added at the checkout at a later date, but for now the VAT will be payable upon receipt of the parcel. The VAT charged will be that rate of VAT that the recipient country charges.
