Something is not clear. Are you saying that the 20% VAT (collecting, registration,...etc) applies only to sales valued at LESS than L135 (Roughly $180)? But does not applies to anything with higher value, regardless of value?
I got the impression that it was the opposite. Please clarify.

Crazy! So you as a vendor would have to register for VAT with UK authorities, charge and collect 20% VAT on behalf of the UK government then file quarterly VAT returns and pay the UK government what you've collected on their behalf........ Madness! Cheers from across the pond.

So, let me get this straight. Does this mean that vendors based outside the UK will have to register with the UK authority and pay taxes on orders going from the USA to the UK?
