Tax Information

For customers from countries outside of the UK, please be aware of the following tax rules when purchasing books and t-shirts from us:

  1. The rules for exporting from the UK to the EU have changed. Since Brexit, all shipments to the EU attract import charges. These, we are advised are usually VAT applied by the government of the recipient country. This tax is collected by the courier or postal service that is transporting your parcel.

    We are advised that in most European countries VAT is charged at between 5-20% on books. I’m very sad about this but customers in the EU will now, unfortunately, be responsible for paying VAT on books in accordance with their country’s laws on shipments from outside of the EU.

  2. For shipments to Ireland, there is no VAT on books. e are advised that shipments to Ireland under €150 (~£130) should not be charged customs duties but I’m afraid that some are.
  3. International customers should also be aware that admin fees may be charged in addition to VAT charges. This is because many governments have asked couriers to collect these charges on their behalf and the couriers have chosen to pass this cost on at the point of delivery. I ask all international customers to check their own country’s rules and regulations prior to purchase, as we cannot take responsibility for taxes and charges.

    4. *** Please note that books being imported to the USA from the UK are not subject to tax, unless an order is over £500.

    Should you feel unable to order direct from us as a result of these taxes, please take a look at Amazon in your region.
