| My companies export products all over the world including New Zealand. Concerning our postion and VAT, if in Europe our customer is VAT registered we do charge VAT at the current rate of 17.5% and the customer can claim the VAT back through their local system. All retail sales (and trade sales if customer does not have a VAT number) in Europe carry the British VAT rate at 17.5% and has to be charged. For *Exports* outside of Europe which includes retail (distance selling) and trade, we do not charge VAT. However, at the point of entry, for both retail and trade customers, the local VAT (if any) and duty/taxes are chargeable at whatever rate applies and that includes the inclusive shipping charge.
