Just wondering what the position is for VAT-registered customers, do you provide a VAT invoice so that the tax can be reclaimed?
twist said:They/you dont pay the VAT, surely you cant reclaim it?
3. Will I have to pay Import taxes?
No, all import taxes/duties/VAT are covered by us. We are responsible for all additional tax charges.
twist said:Im sure they are... if customs sting you.
That wasn't my question. They state the VAT has been paid, so I'm wondering what the procedure would be for a VAT-registered buyer to reclaim it?
domino1999 said:Why don't you just email them at support@panamoz.com and ask them?
Because if they answer the question here it saves others having to ask the same question
g7swz said:If they have paid VAT they should provide you with an invoice which shows a VAT number.
If you have an invoice showing a VAT number and you are VAT registered you should be able to recover the VAT in the normal way.
No VAT number - not able to reclaim VAT.
twist said:Do you work for HMRC?
srichards said:Just read their FAQ:
7. Are you able to issue a VAT invoice?
Please note we don't provide this service currently.
If they are paying VAT etc then I thought it was a legal requirement to list any amount of VAT that has been paid in the receipt? Maybe it is different if you order from HK.
Non-resident businesses or individuals with operations in the UK are still required to register if they meet any of the criteria for registration. Non-resident businesses or individuals who have no place of business in the UK, but are nevertheless eligible for VAT registration by merit of: supplying VAT-liable goods or services in, to, or from the UK, assuming control of a VAT-registered business, or receiving VAT liable goods from another EU country (all subject to the GBP70,000 threshold), must register as a Non-Established Taxable Person (NETP).
Flash In The Pan said:It says on their website that the prices include VAT....
Flash In The Pan said:If they can provide a UK VAT number then they're kosher, if they cannot or will not then the only conclusion that can be drawn is that they are collecting VAT but not passing it on to HMRC.
B1ts said:Where does it say that?
Far as I can see they say they cover you for such but doesnt say they actually include it in the price
B1ts said:But they dont say they are collecting vat?
How are they different to say kerso who also supplies no vat details?
They have a UK business address, so in theory they should have both a UK company number and a UK VAT number, but even if they don't they should still be registered as a Non-Established Taxable Person (NETP) which would give them the necessary VAT number.srichards said:Is the courier handling all the VAT collection and panamoz settle with them instead? If they're importing lots then it would make sense to do it that way.
HMRC would know whether they had a VAT number. They don't have a UK company number so I'm not sure how you'd have a VAT registration for an HK company anyway.
srichards said:They don't quote a UK company number on the site. Just an HK one. Business address is above a jewellers in Camden. Hatton Garden.

Photogaz said:I just don't know what you're trying to get at. If you're trying to claim the VAT fine but if you can't just let it be. It just feels like you're trying to stitch them up some how.
I'm sure they are just making a simple mistake in the terminology on their site. They probably just wanted to suggest that's all the customer pays in their FAQ.
domino1999 said:Meaning your initial question has been answered, so why aren't you off looking for a supplier who actually fulfills your requirements instead of continuing this thread?
Rebel t3i said:Are you Vat registered if your not you cannot claim VAT back anyway obviously
and if you are vat registered you could only claim the vat back if it was for your business use only
Rebel t3i said:have you purchased something from them or are you considering purchasing from them and are you vat registered Graham
if you are a vat registered company graham you have to declare the goods that you are importing as you are the importer as far as I am awareOK, let's say I am VAT-registered and I want to buy a camera for business use, the question still stands, VAT is due ( and inferred to be "covered" by the seller) therefore it must be reclaimable.
Rebel t3i said:if you are a vat registered company graham you have to declare the goods that you are importing as you are the importer as far as I am aware
so you would technically be breaking the law IMO
