We ordered and paid for car parts before 11pm (This is written on the invoice) on 31st Dec 2020. They were made in the UK but cost 255 sterling (over the 150 euro). They were dispatched to us and we received them on 6th of Jan 2021. We paid 75 euro extra in total to the courier (duties, VAT and admin charges). We just want to know if this was correct as the goods were ordered and paid for on 31 Dec 2020? We had a look at Revenue.ie but find it difficult to negotiate.
I wonder what will happen if you refuse to pay the additional tax and charges, when they are delivered?
- Will the goods automatically be returned to the sender, and you get refunded the purchase price?
Is it sufficient grounds to cancel the order and insist on a full refund? ... It's unlikely that the retailer agreed to the sale, conditional on delivery before close 31-12-2020.
Duties apply on-entry, so order date is immaterial.
I'd be slow to refuse delivery, since Jan 1st, EU distance selling protections no longer apply to UK businesses, so you no longer have the cooling-off period or right to return.
