UK TAX & DUTY REQUIREMENTS

TAX & DUTY

Retailers shipping customer orders to the UK are obliged to pay VAT, on the full sale price of the taxable goods or services, to the UK government. The standard VAT rate is currently 20%.

The UK charges customs duty on parcels shipped by retailers from outside the UK valued over 135GBP.  Customs Duty is charged on the sale price of the goods plus freight. The rate charged varies depending on the type of goods and their origin.  Customs Duty is payable on excise goods of any value (e.g. alcohol, tobacco).
