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
