New Pez, by Yabadabdo on Feb 15, 2021 20:12:26 GMT 1, Notice graffitiprints warning to EU customers they will need to pay import fees/taxes, then go on to say "To make things fair all round we are now charging 20% VAT on all UK sales." Were they not already charging vat? I didn't think you could decide yourself whether you want to charge vat or not when selling within the UK. Does this mean they will add another 20% to the advertised purchase price?

New Pez, by Sebastian Dusseldorf on Feb 15, 2021 20:31:19 GMT 1, Interesting move. Guess it makes a lot of sense, if you have an international customer base. Especially given the already costly 60£ shipping fee, another disadvantage would definitely reduce my interest in buying as a EU citizen.

I guess that's what they did already. The print is actually 300£ (but showing 250£ excl. VAT). Which is a reasonable price I think.

The price for U.K. and EU was always inclusive of vat. Exports to non EU should have been no vat. I’m not really understanding why adding 20% to U.K. customers is somehow making things fairer. That extra % won’t suddenly go to the vat man. It will go to GP. Or 5/6ths would. I’m also not in agreement with the whole it’s only another £50 argument. Where does that end?

New Pez, by Graffiti Prints on Feb 15, 2021 23:03:31 GMT 1, We have always sucked up vat in the whole of the eu including U.K.
We split the monies with from prints after costs only not after vat.
Meaning we paid all the vat ourselves and non of our artists think about the vat and it cost us dearly especially as the years went on our vat bills were massive.
Now we have had too think about it because all our EU customers will Pay import etc as the rest of world always have.
So we decided to start charging the U.K. so it’s fair on everybody for once including us.
the U.K. is only 5-8% of our business and if that means less sales so be it. It was a good time to charge vat so we did.
Everyone knows the quality of the prints and costs associated vs price we sell is way too low on GP.
So we levelled the paying field it’s been unfair on the rest of the world for years.
And yes we make more money by charging the vat as our bills are paid for by the vat we charge to U.K. customers.
The way it should have been from the start

No issues with the change as a UK customer as they are still a great buy. I’ve had Pez, Findac, Otto Schade and Hama Woods off you guys and all have been amazing, arrived quickly, packaged well in immaculate condition. Desperate for that Triple Leaf to go with my collection but know realistically I won’t be lucky enough. Keep up the great work.

I have asked for a refund on the VAT a number of occasions but never heard anything back. Not that fussed but I try to give as little to the UK government as possible these days, and it does help to cover the sometimes ridiculous postage charges.

Like others have said, he never removed VAT when shipping outside of the EU when the UK was still a member. He pocketed it. Like those £30 UPS shipping charges he doesn't refund when he uses Royal Mail for £9 a piece.
Thanks for the pre-order Giancarlo 😉

So we get stuck with double VAT, and your saying you don’t want UK sales??

You charge VAT on UK sales, not on international sales. How you split it with the artist is your and the artists decision and has nothing to do with fairness in pricing towards the customer.
And to tell all UK customers their custom is worthless is pretty arrogant in my ears.

When business is good sometimes lose track and importance of the original customer base

Don’t you guys already pay income tax? So, taxed when you make it, tax when you spend it (twice), taxed when you save it, taxed when you die?
Awesome.

Bad move IMO. “Levelled the playing field” “if it means less sales then so be it” basically saying - we don’t give a shit about our UK costumer base. Nice one

I think the communication should have been more transparent from the beginning (= 250£ + VAT), but still hope this becomes a standard for businesses with an international focus.

VAT always seemed crazy to me. What a greedy, greedy govt. Don’t you guys already pay income tax? So, taxed when you make it, tax when you spend it (twice), taxed when you save it, taxed when you die? Awesome.

So, if a print sold for £200 you told HMRC it sold for £240 incl VAT and paid the £40 out of the £200!?
Or you sold the print for £240, just didn’t say that that included VAT?

If we sold a print for 200 we paid vat in the Eu on 200
But split the 200 with the artist meaning we always lost out.
We do care about the U.K simple as that but I felt this was a good time to add vat on the site and address the vat issue we had.
It’s now fair on everyone as rest of the world have paid import since the beginning
