"Aw so do I that really would be to much to cope with pmsl" It's funny all these Brexiteers making light of these things, notice you're not really touching on the guy who is loosing sales from it. It's funnier considering the 3 Brexit benefits posts a couple of weeks ago where in 3 post you were able to no benefits from what I could see any less trivial than what has been raised above. | |||

If companies in the EU trading bloc decide not to trade with the UK that really is their loss - and a bottom-line loss at that. Shareholding companies simply won't be able to get that past their shareholders for very long. Plus we already have a tariff free deal in place that works in both directions. If someone in this country hasn't organised their paperwork that isn't anyones fault but their own as it's been promoted by DTI for more than two years. | |||

It went upto that from 17.5% a few years ago (financial banking crisis time?) A small brexit benefit is the abolition of vat on women's sanitary products. | |||

15% vat to make it a level playing field across the EU so everyone has a basic tax pool yet for reasons unknown the uk has always been more at 21%"That’s nonsense. The VAT rate when first introduced was 10%, it then fluctuated between 8 %, 15% and 17.5% until 2011 when it was raised to 20%. Check the rates of the other EU countries, the UK had one of the lowest rates and highest registration thresholds. | |||

"I'm seeing VAT rates across the EU are quite varied too. Lowest rate is 17 and highest 27. I think maybe it's being confused with the minimum rate if 15. The UK at 20 is the same as others including France" It's also not just the rate but at what rate the reduced rates and what items are set at. We have many many items on reduced rate - where many other countries have very much fewer items on reduced rate. | |||

" You're right. We don't have to be rude. The problem as many people see it is, it's the haves Vs the have nots. The "haves" at the top of the pile convinced enough people to vote to give them more power and wealth. And shout at anyone who speaks up. Keeping us fight amongst ourselves keeps us from doing anything positive. | |||

"On the first day of Brexit I/we experienced two direct effects of the effects of Brexit. 1) Received an email from Licorea.com advising that they were now stopping all shipments to the U.K. forthwith. I buy Captain Morgan Black Label from them as it cannot be purchased here in the U.K. Yes you can. Quick search showed at least 7 outlets in the UK.
My bad - Black Spiced - Not Black Label
I can find that too. "The post was simply to highlight two issues that happened to us on day 1 of Brexit. For the last ten years that I have been drinking it, no U.K. supplier has been able to deliver Capt Morgan Black Spiced Rum, so I bought it from licorea.com - by the case. If it now starts to appear in Asda and Tesco - great. But that is not what the sentiment of the thread is about - it was simply about “what changed on day 1”. As for Mrs H not being able to get her ear rings delivered from givenchy.com - that was just another Brexit “experience.” I did also forget to mention that other European suppliers like (for example) Brooks (running gear), Gucci and Balenciaga have all now amended their returns a process so that you now have to include three customs declarations in a clear envelope - no big deal I suppose, other than - for what ultimate purpose is this extra hassle? | |||

" Should we just concede we're fucked and give up? You are what you think you are. NLP101" Dunno what that means. What's the answer then. Seemed like only a minority of leavers want the remainers deported. Should we just give up that there's any hope of a fairer society with less of a gap between the rich and poor? | |||

I'm intrigued how you think it's all a power and wealth grab by those at the top. Given that is was mostly the so called "working class" who voted for it...and the Liberal elite who thought we would never be stupid enough to vote to leave. Brexit is many things but most significantly its done, it was done over 2 years ago. It's democracy at work and now we just have to get on and make the best of it. And we will as we have no other choice. | |||

Well the only people who will benefit are tax Dodgers, currency traders, US corporations, and potentially people like Tim Martin who hopes we will scrap many workers rights and environmental protections. Meanwhile the rest of us are worse off. The vote was based on lies by illegally funded leave campaigns. I'd hardly describe it as democracy in action. | |||

Seemed like only a minority of leavers want the remainers deported. Should we just give up that there's any hope of a fairer society with less of a gap between the rich and poor?" It means that if you feel nothing can be changed and it's detrimental, to you it is. And you won't rise into another way of thinking (and doing) about it. While there are those that have inherited and those that have stolen, there are many more that got up one morning and went their own way by starting up a business of their own honestly and legitimately. The thing about a capitalist society is that: Business makes Profit. Profit is taxed. Employees are paid. Employees are taxed. Employees buy houses for their families. Their families inherit. Their inheritance is taxed. Taxes pay for services. Taxes pay for those in need. Taxes are payed to third world countries. . . . and around and around it goes. It's not inherently a bad thing. But it is the society we have. There are those that will abuse it every opportunity they get. But there are many many hundreds of businesses throughout the UK that look after their employees to the point of making themselves ill with worry. I know because some of my best friends have put everything about their employees before everything. We all need to stop whinging and start doing. | |||

"Aw so do I that really would be to much to cope with pmsl It's funny all these Brexiteers making light of these things, notice you're not really touching on the guy who is loosing sales from it. It's funnier considering the 3 Brexit benefits posts a couple of weeks ago where in 3 post you were able to no benefits from what I could see any less trivial than what has been raised above. Whatever benefits there may or not be... Kind of irrelevant now isn't it? The votes been had, the deals been done and its up to us to get on with it... Or keep moaning about it... Or very possibly both. Stronger together Stronger together, and in the EU. We can't get on with things if we can even agree that Brexit is the problem we need to try to mitigate against.you mean if leavers agree with you ye ? Doesn't have anything to do with who agrees with me. People are still cheering on brexit, what hope is there to get people to "come together"?mate howay like you wamt the ppl to come together have you read yr posts over the last few months your still issued that we’ve left and have no interest in comeing together atleast be honest bud What would you have me do? Should people start to believe in brexit? There's still no evidence that it's anything except a power and wealth grab for those at the top. Should we just concede we're fucked and give up? I'm intrigued how you think it's all a power and wealth grab by those at the top. Given that is was mostly the so called "working class" who voted for it...and the Liberal elite who thought we would never be stupid enough to vote to leave. Brexit is many things but most significantly its done, it was done over 2 years ago. It's democracy at work and now we just have to get on and make the best of it. And we will as we have no other choice." Let's rewind a little. An advisory referendum (because parliament is sovereign) that people didn't know what they were voting for (brexit means brexit) won by the slimmest of margins. That's not democracy at work, its a slow motion car crash. | |||

"I randomly chose: On their Country websites . . . Adidas France. Nike Germany. L'Oreal Paris. MaisonDuMonde. And they all allow me to pick and checkout and place a UK address for delivery. Maison actually have on their website "There will be no customs fees for UK customers after the UK’s transition period ends on 31/12/20." Maybe VAT if not customs fees Huh? We already pay VAT
And remember that VAT was an EU imposed tax that the EU require member nations to add.
15% vat to make it a level playing field across the EU so everyone has a basic tax pool yet for reasons unknown the uk has always been more at 21%
MAny EU countries are the same or more. Easy to find."So what's your point if any? | |||

"I randomly chose: On their Country websites . . . Adidas France. Nike Germany. L'Oreal Paris. MaisonDuMonde. And they all allow me to pick and checkout and place a UK address for delivery. Maison actually have on their website "There will be no customs fees for UK customers after the UK’s transition period ends on 31/12/20." Maybe VAT if not customs fees Huh? We already pay VAT
And remember that VAT was an EU imposed tax that the EU require member nations to add.
15% vat to make it a level playing field across the EU so everyone has a basic tax pool yet for reasons unknown the uk has always been more at 21%
UK normal vat rate us 20%. It went upto that from 17.5% a few years ago (financial banking crisis time?)
A small brexit benefit is the abolition of vat on women's sanitary products.
Funny enough I’ve just been reading about the sanitary products and it’s a bit of a Brexit bonus myth .. Johnson’s using them to rah rah the public on . The others are something about a type of fishing and free ports , I will try to find the link but they are both bullshit .
The sanitary issue or the tampon tax as it’s lovingly named could have always been changed by moving the product from luxury to necessity or something ..
it’s been a bit of a hot spud since 2009 .. even back to labour .. nought really to do with the EU
Oh not really a brexit benifet then.
Nah . The government has been saving them up in a sort of back pack and will now of course deliver them to the public when they need to ,, that’s politics eh
I did wonder why the some dimwits left bringing up the tampon thing I never bothered investigating but it is intresting we could have adjusted the tax ourselves, it just shows how the express and the fail have manipulated the brexit sheep.
EU regulations meant that we could not abolish VAT on women's sanitary products. We reduced it to the lowest rate that we could,, at 5%.
Now that we have left, we have abolished it. Campaigners are delighted.
I find it strange the someone who has repeatedly claimed that "brexit has cost me sales to the EU" is so ignorant of the VAT rules. "Ireland also a member has zero rates on tampons. Just saying. The Eu put forwards proposals to reform the vat on such items on 2018 giving the non binding nod to countries to abolish it, we didn’t need Brexit for this. | |||

Considering brexit has cost billions and counting it amazes me saving a few pence on tampons would be seen as a major victory over the evil EU empire, strange "I'm guessing the ladies who use these items may have a different opinion to a man.! | |||

"I randomly chose: On their Country websites . . . Adidas France. Nike Germany. L'Oreal Paris. MaisonDuMonde. And they all allow me to pick and checkout and place a UK address for delivery. Maison actually have on their website "There will be no customs fees for UK customers after the UK’s transition period ends on 31/12/20." Maybe VAT if not customs fees Huh? We already pay VAT
And remember that VAT was an EU imposed tax that the EU require member nations to add.
15% vat to make it a level playing field across the EU so everyone has a basic tax pool yet for reasons unknown the uk has always been more at 21%
UK normal vat rate us 20%. It went upto that from 17.5% a few years ago (financial banking crisis time?)
A small brexit benefit is the abolition of vat on women's sanitary products.
Funny enough I’ve just been reading about the sanitary products and it’s a bit of a Brexit bonus myth .. Johnson’s using them to rah rah the public on . The others are something about a type of fishing and free ports , I will try to find the link but they are both bullshit .
The sanitary issue or the tampon tax as it’s lovingly named could have always been changed by moving the product from luxury to necessity or something ..
it’s been a bit of a hot spud since 2009 .. even back to labour .. nought really to do with the EU
Oh not really a brexit benifet then.
Nah . The government has been saving them up in a sort of back pack and will now of course deliver them to the public when they need to ,, that’s politics eh
I did wonder why the some dimwits left bringing up the tampon thing I never bothered investigating but it is intresting we could have adjusted the tax ourselves, it just shows how the express and the fail have manipulated the brexit sheep.
EU regulations meant that we could not abolish VAT on women's sanitary products. We reduced it to the lowest rate that we could,, at 5%.
Now that we have left, we have abolished it. Campaigners are delighted.
I find it strange the someone who has repeatedly claimed that "brexit has cost me sales to the EU" is so ignorant of the VAT rules.
Ireland also a member has zero rates on tampons. Just saying. The Eu put forwards proposals to reform the vat on such items on 2018 giving the non binding nod to countries to abolish it, we didn’t need Brexit for this.
Ireland has zero vat rating as it implemented this rate before the EU deemed such items as "luxury" and therefore vatable.
David Cameron asked the EU Commision for reform in 2016. The EU did indeed put forward proposals in 2018 but they were not acted on. Therefore the 5% rate stood.
German also abolished this in the EU in November, We could have tried to do this to: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34638831
But guess who voted against it???
No, Germany hasn't abolished it.
It reduced the VAT rate down from 19% to 7%.
Ok fair enough, Ireland?
And what about the Vote in 2015, who voted against it?"You’re claim is factually incorrect https://fullfact.org/economy/did-mps-vote-against-removing-tampon-tax/ | |||

A small brexit benefit is the abolition of vat on women's sanitary products.
Funny enough I’ve just been reading about the sanitary products and it’s a bit of a Brexit bonus myth .. Johnson’s using them to rah rah the public on . The others are something about a type of fishing and free ports , I will try to find the link but they are both bullshit .
The sanitary issue or the tampon tax as it’s lovingly named could have always been changed by moving the product from luxury to necessity or something ..
it’s been a bit of a hot spud since 2009 .. even back to labour .. nought really to do with the EU
Oh not really a brexit benifet then.
Nah . The government has been saving them up in a sort of back pack and will now of course deliver them to the public when they need to ,, that’s politics eh
I did wonder why the some dimwits left bringing up the tampon thing I never bothered investigating but it is intresting we could have adjusted the tax ourselves, it just shows how the express and the fail have manipulated the brexit sheep.
EU regulations meant that we could not abolish VAT on women's sanitary products. We reduced it to the lowest rate that we could,, at 5%.
Now that we have left, we have abolished it. Campaigners are delighted.

"Taxation issues are never simple , that’s why we employ accountants.. It could have been moved on much more swiftly if resources had not been diverted to let’s say Brexit for example .. The workings of any large organisation are always slow in comparison to you or I buying grocery’s for example .. Brexit alone took almost 5 years and no doubt there will be many more hours spent tweaking and changing .. I’ve got to deal with council today over business rates , that’s been going on for 9 months , on something which I believe is a simple matter .. | |||

"I randomly chose: On their Country websites . . . Adidas France. Nike Germany. L'Oreal Paris. MaisonDuMonde. And they all allow me to pick and checkout and place a UK address for delivery. Maison actually have on their website "There will be no customs fees for UK customers after the UK’s transition period ends on 31/12/20." Maybe VAT if not customs fees Huh? We already pay VAT
And remember that VAT was an EU imposed tax that the EU require member nations to add.
15% vat to make it a level playing field across the EU so everyone has a basic tax pool yet for reasons unknown the uk has always been more at 21%
UK normal vat rate us 20%. It went upto that from 17.5% a few years ago (financial banking crisis time?)
A small brexit benefit is the abolition of vat on women's sanitary products.
Funny enough I’ve just been reading about the sanitary products and it’s a bit of a Brexit bonus myth .. Johnson’s using them to rah rah the public on . The others are something about a type of fishing and free ports , I will try to find the link but they are both bullshit .
The sanitary issue or the tampon tax as it’s lovingly named could have always been changed by moving the product from luxury to necessity or something ..
it’s been a bit of a hot spud since 2009 .. even back to labour .. nought really to do with the EU
Oh not really a brexit benifet then.
Nah . The government has been saving them up in a sort of back pack and will now of course deliver them to the public when they need to ,, that’s politics eh
I did wonder why the some dimwits left bringing up the tampon thing I never bothered investigating but it is intresting we could have adjusted the tax ourselves, it just shows how the express and the fail have manipulated the brexit sheep.
EU regulations meant that we could not abolish VAT on women's sanitary products. We reduced it to the lowest rate that we could,, at 5%.
Now that we have left, we have abolished it. Campaigners are delighted.
I find it strange the someone who has repeatedly claimed that "brexit has cost me sales to the EU" is so ignorant of the VAT rules.
Ireland also a member has zero rates on tampons. Just saying. The Eu put forwards proposals to reform the vat on such items on 2018 giving the non binding nod to countries to abolish it, we didn’t need Brexit for this.
Ireland has zero vat rating as it implemented this rate before the EU deemed such items as "luxury" and therefore vatable.
David Cameron asked the EU Commision for reform in 2016. The EU did indeed put forward proposals in 2018 but they were not acted on. Therefore the 5% rate stood.
German also abolished this in the EU in November, We could have tried to do this to: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34638831
But guess who voted against it???
No, Germany hasn't abolished it.
It reduced the VAT rate down from 19% to 7%.
Ok fair enough, Ireland?
And what about the Vote in 2015, who voted against it?
You’re claim is factually incorrect
https://fullfact.org/economy/did-mps-vote-against-removing-tampon-tax/
It's not factually incorrect though is it? They voted against a roadmap, they voted to nothing about it.
So say that... and don’t fudge the facts to suit your narrative
Hence David Cameron asking the EU Commision to do something about it in 2016.
Proposals published by the EuC in 2018. Possible push by the EuP in late 2021/early 2022 to get it into legislation.
Then the other 27 EU nations can follow the more progressive 17ish countries and zero rate.
It doesn't excuse the fact they voted against the proposal in 2015.
Yes- we went one better and said “why the hell should we have to seek the approval of 27 other nations in order to adjust a tax rate “
U.K. - 1st jan 2021 - zero
Eu 27 - 1st jan 2021 - 2018 proposal still to be discussed and voted (and obtain unanimous agreement from 27 members) - possible timeframe - 2022
Why are they taking so long to agree and implement something so simple?
Can you point out where I fudged the facts please?
Also, Why did they vote to do nothing in 2015. You haven't answered that!
Check your own posts
They didn’t do nothing - they pushed ahead to try and get the other Eu27 on board - the fullfact link explains the position perfectly well
.. and still they are talking about it - possibly being implemented - if everyone agrees - by 2022.
U.K. - first opportunity - done it

And remember that VAT was an EU imposed tax that the EU require member nations to add.
15% vat to make it a level playing field across the EU so everyone has a basic tax pool yet for reasons unknown the uk has always been more at 21%
UK normal vat rate us 20%. It went upto that from 17.5% a few years ago (financial banking crisis time?)
A small brexit benefit is the abolition of vat on women's sanitary products.
Funny enough I’ve just been reading about the sanitary products and it’s a bit of a Brexit bonus myth .. Johnson’s using them to rah rah the public on . The others are something about a type of fishing and free ports , I will try to find the link but they are both bullshit .
The sanitary issue or the tampon tax as it’s lovingly named could have always been changed by moving the product from luxury to necessity or something ..
it’s been a bit of a hot spud since 2009 .. even back to labour .. nought really to do with the EU
Oh not really a brexit benifet then.
Nah . The government has been saving them up in a sort of back pack and will now of course deliver them to the public when they need to ,, that’s politics eh
I did wonder why the some dimwits left bringing up the tampon thing I never bothered investigating but it is intresting we could have adjusted the tax ourselves, it just shows how the express and the fail have manipulated the brexit sheep.
EU regulations meant that we could not abolish VAT on women's sanitary products. We reduced it to the lowest rate that we could,, at 5%.
Now that we have left, we have abolished it. Campaigners are delighted.
I find it strange the someone who has repeatedly claimed that "brexit has cost me sales to the EU" is so ignorant of the VAT rules.
Ireland also a member has zero rates on tampons. Just saying. The Eu put forwards proposals to reform the vat on such items on 2018 giving the non binding nod to countries to abolish it, we didn’t need Brexit for this.
Ireland has zero vat rating as it implemented this rate before the EU deemed such items as "luxury" and therefore vatable.
David Cameron asked the EU Commision for reform in 2016. The EU did indeed put forward proposals in 2018 but they were not acted on. Therefore the 5% rate stood.
German also abolished this in the EU in November, We could have tried to do this to: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34638831

No, Germany hasn't abolished it.
It reduced the VAT rate down from 19% to 7%.
Ok fair enough, Ireland?
And what about the Vote in 2015, who voted against it?
You’re claim is factually incorrect
https://fullfact.org/economy/did-mps-vote-against-removing-tampon-tax/
It's not factually incorrect though is it? They voted against a roadmap, they voted to nothing about it.
So say that... and don’t fudge the facts to suit your narrative
Hence David Cameron asking the EU Commision to do something about it in 2016.
Proposals published by the EuC in 2018. Possible push by the EuP in late 2021/early 2022 to get it into legislation.
Then the other 27 EU nations can follow the more progressive 17ish countries and zero rate.
It doesn't excuse the fact they voted against the proposal in 2015.
Yes- we went one better and said “why the hell should we have to seek the approval of 27 other nations in order to adjust a tax rate “
U.K. - 1st jan 2021 - zero
Eu 27 - 1st jan 2021 - 2018 proposal still to be discussed and voted (and obtain unanimous agreement from 27 members) - possible timeframe - 2022
Why are they taking so long to agree and implement something so simple?
Can you point out where I fudged the facts please?
Also, Why did they vote to do nothing in 2015. You haven't answered that!

They didn’t do nothing - they pushed ahead to try and get the other Eu27 on board - the fullfact link explains the position perfectly well

"I randomly chose: On their Country websites . . . Adidas France. Nike Germany. L'Oreal Paris. MaisonDuMonde. And they all allow me to pick and checkout and place a UK address for delivery. Maison actually have on their website "There will be no customs fees for UK customers after the UK’s transition period ends on 31/12/20." Maybe VAT if not customs fees Huh? We already pay VAT
And remember that VAT was an EU imposed tax that the EU require member nations to add.
15% vat to make it a level playing field across the EU so everyone has a basic tax pool yet for reasons unknown the uk has always been more at 21%
UK normal vat rate us 20%. It went upto that from 17.5% a few years ago (financial banking crisis time?)
A small brexit benefit is the abolition of vat on women's sanitary products.
Funny enough I’ve just been reading about the sanitary products and it’s a bit of a Brexit bonus myth .. Johnson’s using them to rah rah the public on . The others are something about a type of fishing and free ports , I will try to find the link but they are both bullshit .
The sanitary issue or the tampon tax as it’s lovingly named could have always been changed by moving the product from luxury to necessity or something ..
it’s been a bit of a hot spud since 2009 .. even back to labour .. nought really to do with the EU
Oh not really a brexit benifet then.
Nah . The government has been saving them up in a sort of back pack and will now of course deliver them to the public when they need to ,, that’s politics eh
I did wonder why the some dimwits left bringing up the tampon thing I never bothered investigating but it is intresting we could have adjusted the tax ourselves, it just shows how the express and the fail have manipulated the brexit sheep.
EU regulations meant that we could not abolish VAT on women's sanitary products. We reduced it to the lowest rate that we could,, at 5%.
Now that we have left, we have abolished it. Campaigners are delighted.
I find it strange the someone who has repeatedly claimed that "brexit has cost me sales to the EU" is so ignorant of the VAT rules.
Ireland also a member has zero rates on tampons. Just saying. The Eu put forwards proposals to reform the vat on such items on 2018 giving the non binding nod to countries to abolish it, we didn’t need Brexit for this.
Ireland has zero vat rating as it implemented this rate before the EU deemed such items as "luxury" and therefore vatable.
David Cameron asked the EU Commision for reform in 2016. The EU did indeed put forward proposals in 2018 but they were not acted on. Therefore the 5% rate stood.
German also abolished this in the EU in November, We could have tried to do this to: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34638831
But guess who voted against it???
No, Germany hasn't abolished it.
It reduced the VAT rate down from 19% to 7%.
Ok fair enough, Ireland?
And what about the Vote in 2015, who voted against it?
You’re claim is factually incorrect
https://fullfact.org/economy/did-mps-vote-against-removing-tampon-tax/
It's not factually incorrect though is it? They voted against a roadmap, they voted to nothing about it.
So say that... and don’t fudge the facts to suit your narrative
Hence David Cameron asking the EU Commision to do something about it in 2016.
Proposals published by the EuC in 2018. Possible push by the EuP in late 2021/early 2022 to get it into legislation.
Then the other 27 EU nations can follow the more progressive 17ish countries and zero rate.
It doesn't excuse the fact they voted against the proposal in 2015.
Yes- we went one better and said “why the hell should we have to seek the approval of 27 other nations in order to adjust a tax rate “
U.K. - 1st jan 2021 - zero
Eu 27 - 1st jan 2021 - 2018 proposal still to be discussed and voted (and obtain unanimous agreement from 27 members) - possible timeframe - 2022
Why are they taking so long to agree and implement something so simple?
Can you point out where I fudged the facts please?
Also, Why did they vote to do nothing in 2015. You haven't answered that!
Check your own posts
They didn’t do nothing - they pushed ahead to try and get the other Eu27 on board - the fullfact link explains the position perfectly well
.. and still they are talking about it - possibly being implemented - if everyone agrees - by 2022.
U.K. - first opportunity - done it
No, where did I post fudged facts please identify and post, doing it now doesn't excuse doing nothing in 2015, Johnson et all voted against.
What is it you think they were not voting for in 2015...
That was answered in the BBC link I posted at the time! did you read that?
Did you read it in full, or only the headline ?
Have you read in full the fullfact link?
Yes, I was aware of both at the time, this is why I posted it. did you read it? Please explain how I fudged facts!
A simple answer or apologise!
What is it you think Germany abolished?
Someone pointed out I was wrong about that, and I accept but that is not relevant to the point you are making.
Where did I fudge the facts? It maybe be the way you are reading it? The BBC article I posted clearly defined what was voted for and the Tories voted against it.
The Full fact article you posted answered a different question.
You posted “ German also abolished this in the EU in November, We could have tried to do this to: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34638831
But guess who voted against it???”
What is it you think Germany abolished ? which in the same post attempted to strengthen your narrative by linking a BBC story with headline “ MPs reject 'tampon tax' challenge in Commons vote” and stating “guess who voted against it???”
Like I said the BBC link explained, you didn't read apart from the headline that's not my problem.
Note I put "could have tried."
It's your reading of it.
One last time - what did you think Germany abolished ?
Addressed this above, I was wrong on that point happy to admit it, It's the way you've read and not looked at the link that's the problem. "Could have tried."
What was the proposal trying to do?
Strange for you to think Germany abolished vat on sanitary products - seems like you fudged the facts .
Anyway you now must know that after all these semantics the real benefit here is that the U.K. can make immediate decisions in situations like this and consequently has zero rated the products. The eu27 can only wait while they all talk about it some more and then have a vote where they all hopefully agree unanimously for the ability to make the rate zero in their own countries .
"Not at all, I got that wrong! Did tory MPs vote to sit on their hands on the matter in 2015? | |||

"4 days in and most people have other things on their minds. It will take 5 years to see the consequences of brexit. No doubt some will benefit and some won't. The bit I dont understand is the desire to argue about what happened 5 years ago... Its done. We are where we are and all we can do is make the best of it. Or... As some people seem to want to do... Ensure it fails... But I wonder what anyone will gain from that? So we adapt, we suck it up and we get on with it. There is no mileage in cranking out the reasons why more people voted to leave than voted to remain. Its done.

"Some EU business are now refusing UK delivery over HMRC tax changes following Brexit. HMRC is now collecting VAT at the point of sale rather previously at the point of importation. This now means that oversea retailers are expected to register for UK VAT and account for it to HMRC if the sale value is less than 150 Euros (£135). This means that HMRC now intends to charge a fee to every company in the world in every country that exports to the UK. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55530721 Brexit, the gift that keep giving.... " It’s also being applied on 2/3rds export transport where it wasn’t before. Government have advised of changes but nothing in writing yet. So no idea what to plan for. 4 days in and we still don’t have the rules. Also no advice yet on VAT returns for the 27 countries. It’s a DIY job. More worryingly this government have done trade deals without any recourse or checks by parliament. I wouldn’t normally bring it up but one of these deals is with Turkey and there was no reference to human rights including violent suppression of opposition. Interfering in judges in court. and imprisoning journalists under fake charges. Is this an example of get things done because I’d rather we didn’t if it’s this disgusting. The Tory party claimed our new trade deals won’t just be business but will take into account human rights and environmental issues, Blatantly another lie then! | |||
