Good morning. Yes, you are able to register as a UK company for VAT in Ireland. I have clients that have shipments arriving in Ireland and we clear on their Irish VAT registration. Have a look at this link ; http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/vat/index.html Cheers, Rudolf289

An Post Monopoly Sorry but there is nothing murky about this. First of all, there are a multitude of parcel services from Ireland to other EU Countries. An Post therefore does not have a monopoly. Secondly, this is a GLOBAL security issue, not an Irish one. Most airlines follow the...

Guys, This is not a national issue, this is an issue driven by security by ICAO / IATA and by individual airlines. An Post - for their airmail - has to use airlines and these airlines impose restrictions. An Post has no choice but to impose these restrictions, they simply can not move this...

Sourcing products in Asia Good morning Sapele66, Sourcing products in Asia can be challenging. I would be very cautious and try to make sure to find out as much as possible about your potential supplier(s). Check out their website, do a search on the physical address listed and ask for...

Rates of exchange for VIES/Intrastat declarations Hello Ninak, I think you should use the rate of exchange as published by Revenue (see this link : http://www.revenue.ie/en/customs/businesses/importing/exchange-rates/index.html) I would suggest to use the rate of exchange of the...

I am with AIB. I do my lodgements through the NEW quick lodge facility. I received a lodgement card that I use with the new machine in the AIB branch. I can lodge a number of cheques in one go. I have a choice of a summary transaction slip or a per cheque record (in fact the slip copies the...

Niall, one other point is that in my experience a lot of Chinese companies will not ship untill they have received the final payment. The advice I would give is to do a pre-shipment inspection. There are sourcing companies based in Ireland - with people on the ground in China - that provide...

Hello Niall, If you are importing container loads from outside the EU (e.g. China) your forwarder should be able to structure your imports in such a manner that you don't have the cash outlay for the VAT at point of entry. Instead, it can be deferred to your VAT return where you accrue the...

Ordering products in the Far East Hello Moirad, If this is your first time ordering products from the Far East, you are likely to find that your supplier(s) will demand either of two scenarios. 1) 100% payment at time of order or 2) 30% downpayment at time of order with the balance due at time...

In my Internet Banking facility, I can check how much of my account is cleared funds and how much is not. Granted, if it shows up in your account when you have not lodged a cheque to your account yourself, you are likely to assume it was a transfer to your account, not a cheque. The lesson...

Hi Galwegian44 Based on the info you submitted, I would be charged by FEDEX on my account as follows ; 1) France € 37.15 plus Fuel s/c 2) Germany € 53.75 plus Fuel s/c Fuel surcharge I think is 22% at the moment. Obviously these are subject to VAT. That would be for a 24/48 hour Air...

Hello Purple, thanks for the suggestion. Will recommend to the client to contact ISME and IBEC and will contact Ireland-China Association myself. Thanks, Rudolf289

One of my clients is involved in imports (primarily China) and exports of clothing (world wide) They are looking at arranging Letters of Credit for their imports from China. As I am sure you are aware, traditional finance for L/C’s through the Irish Banks is virtually impossible. The client is...

Hello Turbo123 a 20' container would hold 9 standard pallets 120 x 100 cms and 12 euro pallets 120 x 80 cms. In terms of cubic capacity a 20' container would be 32.5 cubic meter. You probably would fit 27 to 28 cbm in a 20'. a 40' container would hold 22 standard pallets 120 x 100 cms and 25...

Hello Galwegian44 Can you confirm the dimensions of the boxes concerned ? Cheers, Rudolf289

Hello Turbo 123, The challenge is that if you ship as Less than Container Load (LCL) / Groupage from China or the USA you are likely to be sharing the container with any number of other consignees. In that case it is not possible to clear only one or some of the shipments at the point of...
