VAT (value added tax)
Due to the mix of UK and international customers all the items in our web-shop are displayed exclusive of VAT. VAT is added at the checkout stage if appropriate.
At present we do not have a mechanism for excepting EU customers from VAT, if you are an EU customer with a valid VAT/TVA number and wish to be exempted from VAT (rather than claim it back through your local revenue service), please contact us directly to place your order. We cannot refund the VAT once your order has been placed via our web-shop.
We do not charge VAT to customers outside the EU.
