Do you think ZAVVI will update its store? So far it seems that only Amazon adjusted while some of the labels even went step further and removed shipping to EU.
Some smaller label based retailers based outside EU may decide to not ship to EU as they have to register for a Vat ID with revenue in delivery country and involves a payment to do this
Retailers based outside EU that do a lot of business in EU countries will mostly apply the changes but you may see some leave it late and result for a period no EU delivery options at various stages on some products
I don't expect Zavvi at the moment will but they will have apply local EU country vat at checkout from July 1st 2021
I expect that will only happen when UK and EU countries customs revenue and postal operators make them do it
The important part of this is that Zavvi will have to remove UK 20% vat from price at checkout before they apply EU countries local Vat rate from July 1st 2021
Zavvi say only UK delivery address the price includes Vat but they have never removed the 20% UK vat from list price for customers based outside UK at checkout.
This has resulted in some customers based in some EU countries customs looking for Vat payment when delivering
Zavvi have been basically gaining 20% on purchases where delivery is outside UK as they not passed on the Vat to revenue with EU purchases
Zavvi been based in Guernsey is not a excusse they can use from July 1st 2021 as all e-Commerce websties based outside EU that want to ship to a EU address must apply local EU country vat rate at checkout
Zavvi will not be allowed to charge vat twice so they will have no choice to remove UK 20% vat rate at checkout before appling a EU country Vat rate
At the moment Zavvi say product listing which has for example £15.99 already includes Vat for UK but does not for outside UK
Zavvi been using a very laim excuse for now that the same price of £15.99 for customers based outside UK it includes international insurance costs instead
That is bull and is not allowed and won't be accepted from July 1st 2021 by EU
Zavvi for years been doing dubious Vat avoidance by been based in Guernsey that ends from July 1st 2021
