The last paragraph should get your blood boiling. George. VAT on Goods Sold by Amazon.co.uk VAT stands for value added tax, which is charged on goods sold by Amazon.co.uk within the European Union (EU). In accordance with the laws governing members of the European Union, Amazon.co.uk is obliged to charge VAT on all orders delivered to destinations in member countries of the EU. In general, VAT is charged in accordance with the local legislation in each member state. The "Our Price" amounts displayed for goods sold by Amazon.co.uk are inclusive of UK VAT. However, your final price may differ depending on the actual VAT rate that applies to your order. You will be able to see your final price inclusive of applicable VAT before you confirm your order, when you have completed your order information (including your delivery address). VAT for UK customers The UK VAT rate on books delivered to the UK is 0%. For non-book items that are shipped to addresses within the UK (such as giftwrap, audio books, CDs, vinyl records, minidiscs, videos, DVDs, electrical and photographic items, toys, software and PC and video games) the UK VAT rate is 17.5%. For items containing a book and an item such as a CD-ROM (mixed media), the VAT charged is dependent on the proportion of the total cost subject to VAT. The VAT rate on delivery reflects the VAT rate of the items we are sending you. Note: under EU VAT legislation certain Books items (such as audio books and e-Books) are not eligible for 0% VAT and in those cases the standard VAT rate of 17.5% will apply. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carol Pearson Sent: 10 November 2005 22:05 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] AMAZON PRICES Hi all, Can anyone recall whether the prices listed on Amazon are with or without VAT included, please? Thought it might save me having to wade through docs or almost complete a transaction and find I was paying more than I'd expected.
