+wutzebear Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Funny, but the other german shop had an accountant. That would be my second choice, but the best person to ask is a lawyer for tax affairs. Quote Link to comment
+Sepp & Berta Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I asked my tax accountant. In his opinion a sale would be valid enough if I can prove the payment from the person, the relevant invoice with complete address and also a proof for the shipment. Because of this information I refunded the VAT to all my "world"-customers yesterday and today for all current orders. For future orders, you'll get coins always VAT-free at www.myGeocoin.de - Sepp & Bertas pink Coinshop ;-) Claudia aka Sepp & Berta www.myGeocoin.de Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 You are in principal correct. The question in doubt is, if invoice and bank transfer is accepted as "the export document" which proves that the goods have left the EU. We have to contact our lawyer. Ok I checked with a friend who is a German accountant, she said. An invoice for the amount, postal receipt (proof of shipping) and address is accepted. What else would you need? A stamp from both the US and German customs oking the package into the US? Please let me know when you have consulted your lawyer and when you will be issuing VAT refunds. (easily done through paypal) for my 2008 invoices. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

Ah, I had a purchase on 3/1 - if the VAT was added on to that one it would be nice to get the VAT back. And the person who discussed Use Tax in the US - absolutely right - in my state - what I buy out of state - out of country - I am supposed to declare and pay the "uese tax". Quote Link to comment

+Sepp & Berta Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi Hollora, I'm afraid, that paypal only allows to send refunds 6 weeks after the moneytransfer. Furthermore the problem is, that sales from before April have already completed in the bookkeeping. It would cost a lot of time and money to change this retroactive. Please remind me at your next order and I'll find a way to give you discount or a free item to your order to refund you the VAT that way :-) Quote Link to comment
ljay Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Firstly well done to myGeocoin.de for getting on to this and fixing so quickly, next time i have money for coins i will check out your site. Further to my posts over the weekend i contacted a friend who works for an international company who deals with VAT refunds for international travellers, since she is in Ireland she gave me the e-mail for her counterpart in the german office (cos the Company that Avroair pm'd me was german). His reply was Because of the current legal situation <HIS COMPANY> does not offer the possibility of a refund for online purchases. But the online shop can give the tax rate directly as an additional discount to the customer if the shop is the sender and on condition that all documents are issued on the customers non-EU-address. For further information please ask your retailer. So my reading of what he has said and obvoiusly what Sepp and Berta have been told by their advisors is "non-EU address NO VAT" With regards to getting the money back, it will be very difficult to get it back from the on-line shop as they will already submitted their tax returns. but maybe Sepp and Berta could advise how to reclaime the VAT via the german VAT office.

+keewee Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 And we all take our fingers off the keyboard... step away from the computer... and take a deep breath... It's unfortunate that VAT has been charged on non-EU orders when it apparently should not have been. This may, or may not be the stores fault directly - more likely they were given bad advice, which they follow and is how they have been running their business. Right or wrong, everyone jumping up and down on them all at once is not going to achieve anything but negativity. Step back, take a breath, let the dust settle and let the vendor collect their thoughts. I am sure they will now seek to get the correct information and move to rectify any wrongs made. ** disclaimer - I am in no way associated with any geocoin shop/vendor other than being a sorry excuse for a geocoin addict, and therefore they supply my habit... um... errr... I meant to say I'm a customer of most of them. Quote Link to comment

Tooeygeotrashed Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Still waiting to hear what geocoinshop.de's lawyer had to say as I would like the VAT paid refunded. Just my 2 cents worth - it is clear that you should not have to pay tax, you should be given an immediate refund, a lawyer isn't needed to determine that much. It is then up to the retailer to sort out their tax situation with or without the use of a lawyer/accountant. Quote Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'm not a tax expert by any means... But have a look at the UK V.A.T regulations here VAT Regs One has to registered as a business and for VAT before being able to reclaim VAT paid on imported goods. So the individual cacher importing coins for a local group or a charity will have to pay the dreaded VAT (17.5% in the UK) on import into the EU and has little choice but to add it to the coins price.

+tom4props Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I too, have wondered about the automatically included VAT tax. For me, it's mostly been with a German vendor (great coins too).

This is true, and in th UK you can only be registered for VAT if your business earns over a certain amount of money (I think about £12,000), that would put many coin sellers out of the equation, and they have no choice but to pass on the cost of the tax.

Quote from previous post for geocoinshop.de Please let us the Geocoinshop try to make things clear. In 2007 we were not bound to pay VAT to our state, therefor our invoices did not include VAT and you didn't have to pay either. In 2008 now we are bounded to pay VAT (the same as all the other shops) to our country. (to make it clear: the VAT is not going into our pocket, but has to be paid to the country.) Until now, our laywer told us, that we have no chance to get rid of it. Therefor our customers (even outside the EU) have to pay and we have to forward to our country. Nevertheless we see and wonder that some shops skipped their VAT. Presently we think they are acting not correct. We are going to check, if their is a chance to skip the VAT. If yes you can be sure to get a refund for 2008. Quote Link to comment
+jwillisbarrie Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 thank you very much for your email. Unfortunately we have to charge 19% VAT also for orders outside of the EU. The reason for that is, that we do not have any receipt, that our products were shipped outside of the European Union. If we had this receipt we wouldn’t have to charge it, but it is very expensive to ship with this receipt." Here in Ontario we have to charge the tax IF picked up in person. If it is shipped to another address outside of Ontario NO TAX. Give me a break on the receipt argument, you can prove you did not sell it to someone locally as you have your shipping info to show this took place. The key thing is that the customer does not get the goods until they are delivered to the address outside of Ontario. Buying in person and putting your home address as another province does not cut it. You have to ship directly. If I buy from a store in BC, I don't pay the BC sales tax *IF* I have it shipped to me in Ontario. If I am in BC and buy in person while on vacation I have to *PAY* it as I am buying in person.

After sending some coins to the US I know that the german mail is really expensive when it comes to shipping outside Europe.

+gjensen Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 From my perspective here in Denmark, Europe, you Americans seem very lucky. You are probably correct that you do, indeed, have the legal right to NOT pay European VAT on your online purchases. Whether or not the seller is able to figure out how not to charge it on your purchases, is up to the seller. In the case of geocoinshop.de, I can only recommend this webshop, having bought quite a considerable number of coins from them already. However, as this shop is one of the largest operators on the European market, I do actually feel that your request that they figure out how to not charge VAT on out-of-EU orders, is by now quite justified. Personally, of course, I am quite happy to pay the 19% German VAT as this is cheaper than the 25% Danish VAT I would otherwise have to pay. Importing coins from the US into Europe is quite a different matter. Whereas the Americans have a legal right not to pay VAT, I, on the contrary, have a legal obligation to pay 25% import VAT on my purchases. Fortunately the Customs Department of Post Danmark (Danish Mail) kindly helps me meet that obligation by providing a customs handling service which ensures that I do not get my package until I pay whatever amount of VAT that they have figured out I must pay. Plus, in some cases, an additional customs charge of about 2-3%. For this service, I am charged a flat fee of approx. $32, no matter the value of the shipment. Did I mention that the $32 fee does include VAT of the fee itself? Or that the value of the package (of which the 25% VAT is calculated) is calculated as the declared value PLUS the actual postage used by the sender? Or that the customs handling procedure usually takes from 1 to 3 weeks? If anyone detects a tiny spot of irony in the above paragraph, they are absolutely correct. Seriously, I have the following request that I rutinely make of anyone shipping geocoins from the US to Denmark: Could you please: 1. Use the smallest possible physical package. Large packages are much more likely to receive the full customs handling procedure. 2. Tick "item is a gift" or "other" on customs label (note that customs labels are only required for packages weighing one pound or more). 3. Declare a very low value, like "$10", irrespective of the actual value. 4. Do not include any invoice or any other paperwork whatsoever in the package. Packages are rutinely opened by customs and the value determined either from the label or any invoice that may be found. 5. Use a private, not business, sender address. I have found that the large majority of US sellers are happy to comply with these wishes. A very few tell me that they do not wish to do this for moral reasons, in which case I tell them to do as they please, and go ahead with the transaction anyway. Quote Link to comment

Whilst I don't have a particular axe to grind over this, being a UK resident, I have to pay the tax anyway, but I think it is a pretty poor show that a coin vendor appears to be unable to resolve this matter in a timely manner. A vendor, I might add, that does not give details about minting numbers and when a particular coin proves popular on ebay - out pops another minting, not once, not twice but over and over again. I think I will vote with my finger now, and click delete from my list of vendors. Quote Link to comment
