UK Inward Processing Relief (IPR) for VAT
(1/1)
perdrix:
I'm trying to get my head around what I need to do and what a customer of mine needs to do so that I don't have to pay VAT on items (astronomical telescope controllers) sent to me for repair from outside the UK.
The IPR application requires I specify a specific "Port of Entry", but how do I control that when I don't control the courier/postal service the client uses?
Does anyone have experience of this? I almost appears that it needs a foot high pile of paperwork for something that should be simple!
Yes, I have googled it and read a lot of web pages put up by HMRC and some freight forwarders, but so far I've not found a clear exposition.
Any guidance gratefully received.
I expect there's also some thing that needs to be done so the client doesn't pay tax on the full item value when it is returned to them
Thanks
David
