New AP units and pay only 7% VAT

[Davedagc]

If you are looking to by a New AP inspiration, Evolution or Evolution+, then why not come to sunny Gran Canaria, buy your unit and complete your course. The water is nice and warm for the course, so lots of in water time to perfect your skills, ready for when you go home with your unit.

Next scheduled course is the first week in September, but other dates can be arranged at your convenience.

Pm me for more information.

I look forward to hearing from you soon...

Probably because you'd be breaking the law bringing it back into the UK and not declaring it ...

Here you go: HM Revenue & Customs: Customs Duty, Excise Duty and Import VAT: introduction

Quote:

For goods brought in or sent to the UK from the EU there's no extra VAT to pay unless you're ordering or sending purchased goods from one of the EU Special Territories, such as Jersey or Guernsey, in which case you'll have to pay import VAT.
The EU 'Special Territories' are The Aland Islands (Finland), The Canary Islands (Spain), The Channel Islands (UK), The French Overseas Departments of Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique and Reunion and Mount Athos also known as Agion Poros (Greece).
Goods imported to the UK from outside the EU are subject to import VAT, unless they are brought in as part of your duty free allowances.

So, buy in the Canaries and spend an EXTRA 7% - not such a great deal that!

Can you explain it here then? What you are suggesting must be legal, and must be ethical, after all to market your business so openly on any other basis would be a fairly bad idea. It can't be an industry secret, after all you are offering quite freely to share with anyone that cares to ask for further information.

I am asking for further information. Please can you provide it.

Digs.

As a businessman this is not complicated:

• Dave (his business) buys equipment from UK. It is exempt from VAT as it is export.
• In the Canaries (I presume) VAT rate is 7%. Dave adds the 7% VAT to the customer, whilst in the UK it is 21% (I think). Therefore customer gains 14% ( That is if same exVAT price is applied)
• Client takes unit back to UK. In theory he should declare the transaction and pay the difference to Customs + charges. In practice he may not be stopped as client can say he brought it from the UK (however the customs would ask for proof - so it's not fail safe). He could also have shipped and run the same risk.

Nothing illegal there. Now other questions arise such as guarantees, if Dave is an official dealer etch.

Out of curiosity I see in the list above that Gibraltar or Andorra is not included.
