Not on mine. From my invoice:
110.70 list price.
19 - Shipping: DHL Express
20.70 VAT (23%)
$ 47.00 duties and taxes at this end on top of that. Other Euro shippers just delivered, but Atmizoo's DHL asks for $ 47.00 in duties and taxes C.O.D.
If all I had to pay was 110.70 plus $20 shipping then I'd be OK on that.
what i know is that there's no vat deduction no matter where you located..$47.00 could be your local tax (like gst)
Current tax legislation in Greece requires all retail purchases to be charged with the local tax (23%) regardless of the country of the purchaser (EU or non-EU).
Only wholesale is exempt from tax charges.
23% of the prices shown on the website is value-added tax. So, ~21 euros out of the ~111 that the Roller costs is tax. ALL orders are normally sent with a receipt, which is a proof of the amount to be taxed. Some orders are sent without receipt on the purchaser's request (for customs clearance), or when there is a previous history of issues with the local customs. The legal receipts are in ALL cases readily available.
Apart from this 23% VAT, issuing legal invoices means that we - of course - get taxed for the net income that corresponds to each purchase by another percentage. For the record, if the Roller was sold illegally, its cost could be as low as ~80 euros. So, when doing price comparisons, it's also useful to take this factor into account, at least for those interested to know where their money goes.
