If you buy directly from the seller rather than off ebay, then they should take off vat as UK is now an export destination. That sounds vaguely exotic
Agreed, but would prefer paying the VAT in Germany VAT as its 19%... maybe the 1% will partially cancel out the extra premium couriers are now also charging for getting stuff into the UK
As we have now left EU, their sellers should be deducting their domestic VAT on sales into UK. If you pay the regular German / EU domestic price, then you can expect to have 20% added on importation into UK. That 1% Vat saving will cost you almost 25% more as Vat will be levied on the fully taxed price inclusive of shipping.
