    FedEx VAT REBILL

    They fail, but dont worry - you pay in time and money! Its amazing that you are having to fill an LOA to be allowed to pay the VAT, which you could probably defer anyway. The charges levied to our customers are not transparent, I've been surprised when I asked some customers to show their...

    FedEx VAT REBILL

    From further investigation we've contacted the customers who these charges are against. I've had 3 reply, and in those cases they had not been contacted by FedEX for payment, or they had an invoice but no request for payment. Two of these customers have up front said they will pay, so it...

    FedEx VAT REBILL

    Agreed Considering we have never had a complaint, or even an email of suprise from a customer who was not expecting to pay import duties, I think the case rests that we have this covered. The precis of this issue is that we are being billed the customers VAT obligations due to our courier...

    FedEx VAT REBILL

    We do give information to that effect both in general T&C and specifics regarding international trade, and it is clear that shipping is DAP/DDU.

    FedEx VAT REBILL

    I am embarrassed to do so. It is 4 months since the order was delivered. Furthermore, this is / should be in the couriers remit as they have charged us for the service of clearing customs. I do not wish to be charged to do their work for them.

    FedEx VAT REBILL

    Thank you for your reply. At least I know it is not just me. Our customers are often one off purchases. There will be no appetite to settle the bill. The clearance process is handled by FedEx. If they deliver the goods before they take payment for the import taxes, that is their policy and...

    FedEx VAT REBILL

    I've wondered if they are clearing most things or not? If they dont bill the customer for import VAT/Duty, who is going to complain or know about it?

    FedEx VAT REBILL

    For clarity the text you are responding to is from accounts web. I think their advices is to either 1/ Ship DDU/DAP and let the couriers sort it 2/ Ship DAP, and incorporate VAT into your core price Neither of these would be double Vatting. That would only happen if you incorporated VAT in your...

    FedEx VAT REBILL

    Hi DDP is tricky as we don't know what we get charged for the clearance, so we normally charge 5% on top of the buyer country VAT rate. Secondly, and this is worth getting input on, I read that we should bill it as import taxes and not VAT on the customer invoice, so they struggle to reclaim...

    FedEx VAT REBILL

    We've been getting some VAT rebill invoices from our courier FedEx We ship DAP/DDU - so the VAT should be charged by FedEX to the customer before parcel delivery. FedEx have been sending us VAT rebill invoices months after the original delivery date. We have been disputing them, but not...

    Insolvency Practitioners Duties Regarding Bounce Back Loan Abuse!

    I was considering the fraudsters thinking- 'close the company and thats the end of it'. They (courts / HMRC) can re-open the company (big job, debatable if they would for these amounts) but it seems they are going after people as individuals rather than the companies.
