I wonder if UK members can fill me in on the tax laws in the UK as they apply to the sale of used spey/salmon rods sold to America via mail order by shops in the UK.
I've dealt with two well-known outfits; one deducts the 17% value added tax from the listed price and then charges me actual shipping cost. The other maintains that the VAT doesn't apply to used goods and charges the full list price plus a rather hefty (by comparison to vendor A) shipping & handling fee.
Can anyone break this down for me and others who buy used tackle?
