Buying from the UK
Posted: Thu Dec 02, 2010 2:19 am
Just a quick announcement.
For those of you planning to purchase models from the UK, please be aware that the consumption tax rate (known as Value Added Tax or VAT in the UK) will be increasing from 17.5% to 20% on January 4th 2011.
Technically, since we are not in the UK, the websites we purchase from should discount the VAT and we shouldnt feel the increase. I know GW and some other stores do this. However, some sites dont discount the VAT and instead use that money to subsidize their shipping rates.
Please shop around and if you find anywhere offering a good deal, please post the link up here.
Thank you.
