Admin fee for paying import taxes.

[jesse100]

how it was sent and where to make a big diference too, parcel farce run to the customs man every time tnt so far 50% and airmail once in a blue moon but most of my stuff is small and from HK, there are ways and means to get around it on very expensive things though.

Looking at a few of the posts on this & following a rather unhelpful pm, please let me remind you of my standing on this:

 

As stated in post#1, I am not trying to avoid paying tax. What I am looking at, is the admin fee, & if there is a way to calculate & pay the tax, direct to hmrc, cutting out the middle man.

 

To anyone who thinks it is clever, to 'avoid' paying tax:

 

1, It's illegal.

 

2, Like it or not, someone has to pay for the infrastructure that allows you to live. This burden falls on tax payers. Every one who avoids this responsibility is increasing the cost of this, for all those who contribute.

 

3, Thank you for looking after number one & passing that cost onto the rest of us. This is basically theft. Thanks.

 

Please do not allow this thread to drift into the despicable realms of, 'am best tax thief'.

 

 

Greg.
