HMRC Admin 19 Response

Hi,

The guidance on returned goods relief states:

"Goods imported by post from outside Great Britain

Ask the sender to write ‘Returned goods — relief claimed’ clearly on the package and its accompanying import declaration. The declaration must include a complete and accurate description of the goods, their quantity and value. If you’re registered for VAT, make sure your VAT number is quoted on the declaration (CN 22 or CN23)."

You can speak to the courier who will submit import declarations and explain what documents are required.

Hi,

To claim relief, you must satisfy all of the following criteria:

• you have been resident outside the UK for at least 12 consecutive months, prior to the date of moving to Great Britain or Northern Ireland. 
• you are importing the goods within 12 months of coming to live in the UK
• you intend to use the goods in the UK for the same purpose they were used for prior to moving
• the goods can be imported in multiple consignments.

Any goods for which relief is granted cannot be lent, used as security, hired out or transferred to another person within 12 months of the date you moved. Short family trips does not affect that. You can see guidance here:

Transfer of residence to the UK

Thank you.

Hi,

Charges will be applicable if the declaration does not have correct relief applied. You can pay and reclaim the charges by using form BOR286 as the import has been done by parcelforce.

Thank you.

 

Hi,

It is the nature of the medical care which determines whether a supply is exempt from VAT. So as long as it meets these conditions then it will not matter who the contract is with.

Thank you.

Hi,

If the charges have been applied while importing into Ireland then it should be raised with their customs authority as charges have been paid to them.

If the courier has not submitted correct declaration to claim relief, it needs to be raised with the courier. It may also be appropriate to contact customs in Ireland and seek guidance on how to reclaim the charges paid if there was relief available at the time of importation.

Thank you.
