Import Tax :(

[Civic Jim]

I got the Altezzas yesterday and a few other things, from (91EF3ZC) cheers mike

anyway when i got home from work dad says "do u want the good news or the bad???"

I said good, then he says "your lights have arrived, and the bad is you owe me £50 ($80) for import tax!!!!!!!"

I was like WTF, i knew i would get taxed but not that much,

Now i am REALLY worried bout getting a kit from the USA coz it figures out about 33% of the value of the goods which u r sending so i will be paying about $350 for tax on top of the kit AND shipping too

I am SO pissed off

UK SUCKS ASS


Sorry just had to vent

woa, WE in the USA dont even get taxed that bad!! and we have no import tax either, but they do fuck us over on taxes still

If you get the sender of you item to mark it as a "GIFT" Then you will not have to pay any tax =)
