|
| Hi,
I sell items from Vietnam. Some orders sold to Germany
automatically added VAT.
How can I eliminate the VAT since it is
International sales?
Thank you!

Yes, it is official. However, we limited the scope of communication to members
who had initially shown interest in the development of this feature.

Hello Admin Russell,
I have in the past couple years sent a couple emails to the helpdesk requesting
this feature and have asked for the feature to be added on multiple occasions.
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1390647
I sent a helpdesk request under other issues.
Since I need to send in a couple pdfs, hopefully there will be an email address
to attach the documentation to.

Good news. Is this LEGO group or just LEGO Bricklink?
|
Just BrickLink, and just for reselling. Non-profits like schools are currently
not covered.

Seems they added it to this page too:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2467
Maybe it is just implemented and want to verify a few users first to see it all
works good before a wide announcement.

Be aware that not all sellers here will charge VAT, or be able supply a VAT invoice.

You can upgrade to a seller account.

It only shows if the list is not empty.
So if you filed your latest orders (and ‘filed’ are filtered out by default)
or haven’t ordered for 6 months, it’s not there 🤦

|
| Hello,
I’ve purchased an order from overseas and had it shipped to Australia. My total
order value including shipping fees was below $1000AUD. Therefore I have paid
10% GST to Bricklink as per Bricklink’s terms.
My package was held in customs after they inform me the order had a declared
value of over $1100AUD (more than $200AUD over the actual value I paid). Customs
has sent me a bill of over $200AUD for GST and duties fees as a result. I have
sent customs my invoice and proof of purchase to verify my order was under $1000AUD
and they have verified that there was an error and have refunded the GST fees.
However they are saying that a $115AUD duties fee is non-refundable as that was
charged for the inspection process. This fee would not be attracted if the order
was correctly valued at the amount I paid for it.
The seller is claiming they’ve followed all processes correctly and attached
the necessary forms. They have said that Bricklink has automatically generated
the invoice on their end that shows the order value of over $1100AUD. So it appears
there is an error with Bricklink’s generated invoice system, as the invoice I
have as the buyer was completely different in value to the seller’s invoice.
Bricklink have not responded to any of my requests for assistance.
What is the best course of action for me? Has anyone else in Australia had a
similar experience and how was it resolved?
Many thanks

| so bricklink calculates everything including added fees (postage, paypal, etc..)
is that right? (I didn't read anywhere in the help that it would only be
the price for the goods) So I will also count everything the same as last year,
thank you for the answer

The help page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2550
also links to: https://taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/online-sellers_en
The €10k threshold replaces the previous by-country thresholds for non-domestic
sales, so it works the same way, and that’s the same way as domestic sales: it’s
your total sales.
BrickLink and PayPal fees are parts of your costs, exactly like buying the LEGO
you sell. You don’t remove your costs from your sales when you consider your
total sales.
Postage is a cost too. There’s rare cases where it can be excluded but they
don’t apply on BL.
