I've bought a Propain Tyee CF 29" that's got a processing date of the 22nd of Jan, and my understanding is that this will now be subject to an additional (to the 19% German VAT ) 34% VAT/import duty when it arrives with me.
I'm planning on emailing and calling Propain to ask what's up, and if possible request that I can pay them a bit more to convert the German VAT already paid to UK VAT, and to pay for them to increase the shipping to DDP - hopefully this would mean an increase of only about 15% (+1% to cover the difference in UK/German VAT, +14% in fees and duty), rather than the 34% for UK VAT (considering we already pain German VAT at 19%), fees and duty.
Does anyone know how this is supposed to work now?
