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...
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...
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...
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.
Thank you for your reply. At least I know it is not just me.

Neither of these would be double Vatting. That would only happen if you incorporated VAT in your...
I have one of each (B2C + B2B) on my desk right now.
One is quite bad.
The total paid after ebay Fees was something like £193
FedEx charged 95 shipping
then the rebill vat £96
Left us with about £2 net positive
cost of goods, time etc probably around £110
I've got to laugh
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...
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...
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.
