Dear BrickLink members,

On January 1st, 2024, VAT rates for Estonia and Luxembourg will be changed from
20% to 22% and from 16% to 17% respectively. Sellers from these countries will
see new rates in their Store Settings immediately after the switch and on their
Fees pages at the end of the billing cycle.

The BrickLink Team

  Oh OK then. Fair for the customer. But then the MarketPlace should communicate
with the seller, ensure they're educated on this subject, and in some cases
close the shop if they've to refund abnormally often. More Administration
rules to set up and tasks involved... Prettu complex IMO.

“I’m keeping your money because it’s too complicated for me to do more than what
I should do which is just to take that proof from Customs you gave me and refund
you.”

Oh - it'd not be the first time they're late on something; see the Canadian
taxes, the markup margin taxation, and some buyer complained yesterday saying
he's not taxable

I meant, for now instead of waiting for BrickLink, it could be instead the Seller
role to refund the double taxation, especially if he didn't respected or
applied the due procedure.

Besides, it’s not really fair to the customer: you buy €100, you pay +€20 of
VAT to the marketplace, and then €24 of VAT to customs (+ brokerage fee), and
you get refunded €20 by the marketplace.
You are still out €4 + the fee.
Better than being out €24 + the fee but not exactly fair.

  That’s the solution approved by the EU council.
Reference: https://www.grantthornton.nl/en/insights-en/topics/vat/eu-solutions-to-ioss-problems-approved/

Sure:

If a customer has been charged import VAT, then the supplier should refund
the customer the VAT that was charged at the point of supply.

“The solution allows sellers or deemed supplier marketplaces to reclaim
in subsequent IOSS returns any import VAT incorrectly charged by Customs.”

  Problem is, it can't apply to a Marketplace. The Marketplace collects VAT
but the supplier is the seller, the Shop.

  Yes, it should be the same for EU import VAT.  But BrickLink doesn’t do it 😤

But it can't be BrickLink concern: they don't process the shipping and
apply the proper stickers / invoice, so they've no idea if the seller did
it well or not. In this case, why would they refund on an assumption? Sorry.

The cost for handling at the post office you wont get refunded, but it should
be Bricklink's task to refund the taxes if you got proof of payment. It have
happen me a few times on ebay and its really easy to get them to refund taxes
as long as you have a copy of the recipt for paying taxes at Norwegian post office.
Norwegian post office on the other hand would never refund you as long as its
not possible to read VOEC number on the package some wear.
