Re: Jersey and Guernsey lose VAT case against UK Treasury
 

I hoping that ruling will help us cut out debts, now can deal with the hundreds of billions stolen from the government in tax evasion and avoidance?

So what does this ruling mean am I right to assume those companies like play, tesco, hmv, asda who used the loophole to sell games, dvd, cd from the channel isles will now have to cough up backdated vat.

Does this mean the bill passed onto the customers who bought such goods from these.

The prices themselfs will also increase by 20% now that they include VAT

Re: Jersey and Guernsey lose VAT case against UK Treasury
 

would that be tesco's if you see it clearly seems to have VAT omitted wonder how they got away with it.

I would assume they paying it but you never know.

So can all those who used the service be getting whopping tax bill:shocked: as the companies reclaim it.

Now lets have show hands who used these companies online if so :waving:

Strange - I could have sworn the consumer benefited from the not paying of the VAT as well?

I cant deny it I am just guilty thats why would like consesus cableforum users who used them.

Now personally I only used them infrequent when struggled to find it in shops films want namely The Killer John Woo & Hard Boiled asian films with chow yun fat. Timeless classics which for some reason was at one point very hard to get hold off. I love chinese/hk films plus martial arts films it was at one time extremely niche. You either went without used online.

As local places got it less used the online even detriment to saving money. I just hate online shopping it too risky I already in the passed got done so got me clamming up to use it anymore even though bank re-emburst it. Martial arts films much dearer due to importing so not uncommon to see them still £16.00 for even dvd at £22.00 BD. They are coming down.

Still I have used the online therefore guilty.

I do think if these companies threaten to take there custom due to pettyness somewhere else then its disgraceful.

Are they hoping threats mean the government wont make them do it.

Re: Jersey and Guernsey lose VAT case against UK Treasury
 

No, they are probably doing it to

A) keep the price down
B) keep the margin up

If the VAT is included, they have to pay it to HMRC - they don't keep any of it.....
