Can someone help, I keep getting mixed results when searching on google. On a £1000 GBP Colt II, being sent by EMS (US --> UK) What will I pay in total for VAT and Import Tax ?

Thanks in advance


Niall

Don't know if it's still the same but I've always worked on VAT + 4.5% duty.

So £200 + £45 + about £20 handling charge by courier = £265.

Thank you for the info. It means the deal is a little less sweet, will have to have a think if the total price is good enough.

Thanks again.

Normally works out about 30%, with the parcelforce handling fees at around £20

It is 20% VAT and 4.5 Duty (that is over the price declared on the shipping documents) plus handling fees for RM/ Parcel Force of 14 pounds.
