bnt Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) VAT only applies to first sale, so that would not be relevant for used instruments. I'll check before I travel, but I'm fairly sure that a single instrument for personal use, not being imported, doesn't attract customs charges. There is such a thing as a musical instrument certificate, but that has to do with CITEs and there are exemptions for musical instruments, so you won't get fined over e.g. a Bubinga top. PS: no carnet needed for portable instruments, says the MU. Edited March 30, 2021 by bnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaxholmelis Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 So are we saying that we are aiming for 4 Sept 21 at Doveridge? I will say, yes, I hope to be there, but I have 2 grandchildren due that weekend, so things could change very rapidly (not twins, just both daughters due within days of each other - you couldn't make it up). In the event I am able to come along I could bring stuff - electric and acoustic basses/amp(s)/pedal board, depends how much room you have and whether I need to book in advance. I could also bring cake - I imagine that will not be dependant on available space/booking constraints 😉 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: no carnet needed for portable instruments, says the MU. Not quite true on the VAT. "There is VAT on second-hand goods if the seller is VAT registered. Generally, businesses are required to register for VAT once their taxable turnover reaches £85,000 for 2019/2020. " The carnet article is interesting too: "Minister Dinenage confirmed that a simple ‘oral declaration’ could be made by musicians who are travelling with portable musical instruments and that a costly ATA Carnet would not be required. Musicians transporting instruments and equipment by car, van or truck would require a Carnet, however,..." But you're one bloke with a bass so you're fine. See you in September! Edited March 30, 2021 by Richard R Apparently there is a VAT margin scheme as well, so you might not have to charge VAT even if you are registered.But this is Basschat not VATChat, so it's relegated to this footnote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petecarlton Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 10 hours ago, Richard R said: I guess you would need a carnet to declare what you bring into the country and you show the same when you leave. If you haven't got the same items on exit then you would be charged the import tax. Someone here will have toured internationally outside of the EU and know the rules. I seem to remember an old Top Gear special where they get stuck at some African border because one of the cameras wasn't the same as on the paperwork. ☹ I remember filming abroad back in the day. It used to be the job of the assistant cameraman (it was pretty well always a man in those days) and the PA (Production Assistant - pretty well always a woman then) to ensure that the gear and the carnet matched going out and coming back. Often a three to four hour wait both ways to get through customs. It makes me laugh (with a sardonic ha ha ha) that we've gone backwards after twenty or thirty years of glitch-free travel. Still, the NHS is getting an extra £350 million a week, so that's a comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take lots of kit around the world for work and need a Carnet; can get away without one usually, but sometimes have to pay a BIG retainer fee that's refunded when I leave. If you buy from the EU there will be VAT to pay additional to the cost - but that cost may get discounted if the seller is VAT registered.

jebroad Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) The following is from an email I just got from the venue - "On behalf of the Village Hall Committee, we are delighted to announce that the Village Hall will be re-opening on the 17th May. In accordance with Government guidelines, there are some minor restrictions we must all observe, ie face masks must be worn; a maximum of 30 people at any one time can attend and spacing of a metre between attendees. We hope that in the not too distant future, these restrictions will also be lifted." Looks hopeful. So long as nowt changes- worse case scenario would be masks on and distancing but if we still trust bozzer's plan - should be almost normal.
