Yeah, that’s probably a working unit. But I trust the customer who took that light apart, uncovering the sad truth. It’s fake all over, not worth of rngwns fine LEDs.
Due to the new UK import law that came into effect since January 2021, I won't be able to accept any order less than GBP135 from UK buyers until the situation changes, (or I am hopefully misunderstood about how this law works).
UK Buyers Please Read: Due to changes in UK customs regulation requiring overseas entities to register with HMRC and collect VAT from shipments under GBP135 at point-of-sale, buyers from UK must make a minimum purchase of GBP135 so that I can ship the item out under the old rules. Any UK purchases under GBP135 will not be able to ship out until further notice. Regrettably, I do not find such VAT registration with HMRC a reasonable demand for small-scale selling like this, I expect this restriction will remain in the foreseeable future.
From 11pm on 31 December 2020, consignments of goods with a value of £135 or less that are outside:
the UK and sold directly to customers (not through an online marketplace) in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) will have UK supply VAT charged at the point of sale
Does this mean if UK customer buys goods over webshop etc., this VAT charge rule does not apply?
If I understand it correctly, the webshops will be the ones collecting VAT and send it to the UK. So, apparently, if you own the webshop itself, you will need to register with the HMRC and do the VAT collection.
The old VAT rules will be in effect once the purchases go over GBP135 though. So as things are right now, I can only do wholesale to UK with that minimum order value or above.
I finally got around to installing the 3400k leds in 3 of my kid’s GoGlow kiddy flashlights.
The tint is very nice, it completely transformed them to and took their flashlight experience a whol other level
Now the output is way more relaxing instead of that horrible cool with
If I understood it correctly, selling "directly to customers" (email,phone,forums) is different from selling "through an oniline store" ? What is their definition of "online marketplace"? Is this any website, or big ones which for sure already are registered for doing business in the UK, like Ebay?
Most likely the big one that's already VAT registered (or looking to register) with the HMRC. If you sell on eBay, eBay will collect taxes from the buyers for you. So, as the current import law is now, someone will have to register for VAT collection eitherway if you want to sell to the UK, be it some online marketplaces you are selling through, or you doing the VAT registration yourself.
