I'm planning on purchasing an ornament from a small UK retailer. The item is advertised as costing £398 including UK VAT. It's stated on their website that international customers are responsible for local import duties and taxes.
In light of this I contacted the company to determine if the UK VAT would be deducted from the price. They responded stating that they are obliged to charge me VAT unless I am VAT registered and can provide them with a VAT number, which I am not.
In this case I would be paying VAT twice on the item, firstly the UK VAT when placing the order and then Irish VAT when it's being delivered.
Is this correct?
