Have you since 1st January bought a film from abroad?
As eBay are automatically adding 20% VAT on such purchases I am wondering how the UK customs and any other import authorities are aware that such VAT has already been paid.
In the past any items bought from an EU country did not attract any import duties. I assume that the standard customs form has now to be attached to such parcels, but can it also indicate that VAT has already been paid.
