<p>[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 5480729, member: 31620"]I have been trawling through the HMRC guidelines and whilst coin collections and items of numismatic interest might have been able to be subject to a lower level of VAT (5% rather than 20%) it would appear that the current guidelines have some some errors and vagueness in there that means that classification is difficult and ebay are being conservative and helpfully collecting the top VAT rate on behalf of the government. Whether I will then face further VAT when the objects arrive at customs is another question as the seller has no idea that I will have paid the duty and is unlikely to mark it as such. Paying double duty is now my next worry.</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently bought a coin from Canada. The coin was C$ 75.00 and VAT was added at 20%, adding C$ 25 and another C$25 for shipping.
