Hi
I recently bought from uK based Outdoorlook .com
The seller charged me 23% vat under the IOSS scheme (I believe the vat then goes to the relevant country in this case Ireland)
But then Revenue / An Post sent a notification for vat to be paid, they have actually sent 2 separate notices for the same order / parcel.
The seller says revenue are in the wrong, part of their email here.....
the authority is wrong in their request. The VAT payable threshold is ex VAT 150 EU, this order is below 150 EU ex VAT threshold, so we will pay the VAT back to the French authority via our monthly TAX return, under our filing IOSS reference number: IM2500000400
You should 100% not pay the VAT and they should release the goods to you. In turn we collect and pay the VAT to the the French authority, who has registered our VAT / legal entity, as part of the IOSS scheme.
Please print off / email this dialogue and ask them to release the goods in good faith. They are in breach of the new IOSS tax regulations which came into force from the 1st July 2021. //ec.europa. eu/taxation_customs/ioss_en
No one who I spoke to at An Post knew what the IOSS scheme is. I have logged a query with ecommquerycharge, but no reply yet.
I still had 12 days to pay or have the parcel returned but the postman delivered it yesterday which I think is unfair because your now not likely to go to the bother of returning it yourself.
Has anyone been in similar situation, I know I have to pay vat but don't want to pay it twice
Any advice appreciated. Apologies for long post
