raptor-22 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Not to be funny, but I thought you bought things in Singapore and paid the difference in SA (somewhere around page 10)? Now it's the UK and Germany and you don't pay a cent. Please also clarify which law you were referring to earlier about VAT - you made a statement about it being the law to add VAT in this case but didn't specify which law as I wasn't aware of that in the case of a non vendor. I have nothing personal against you as I have no idea who you are, but I battle with comments like that unless they are backed up by facts (and I'm sure you can see the inconsistency/confusion from those 2 comments of yours - there's probably a very logical explanation). Oh ya lekker a fight. yes I guess I articulated the "law bit incorrectly" Since the non VAT registered vendor will add the 14% onto the price of goods to recover the input VA they were charged by their supplier. So no gov gazette. My experiences when travelling to the east is that customs and excise charged me the difference between Sing 9.75% VAT and SA 14% VAT. on a different occasion they didn;t bother charging me anything since goods value was below R5000. When travelling to the UK and Germany, these were longer stays for more than a month or couple of months so instances broadly similar to cpt Amerigo. now what was the point you were trying to illustrate? added at 15h43 <started typing at 15h43.13sec>the point of the matter Is he key point that as a tourist you seldom eligible to get the VAT back and you need to to do your homework on what's required. When I bought the bikes and other cycling goods abroad none of the shops knew anything about I would need to go about claiming the VAT back. So to me EBS situation is not uncommon or unique. Generally store that are experienced in these matters are in tourist quarters in malls etc and not little bike shops tucked away above a broader family business complex.
JGR Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 This thread is boring. Surely there is a forum for all the genius tax and vat consultants that seem to be on here. The buyer said his bit, the LBS has said his, clearly there is no more to say and guess what, this isn't the platform for bloody VAT consulting! I am sure they'll sort it out, its not like its a stolen bike or someone has died. Planks, rope, ladder = bridge to be built... NOW GET OVER IT Think its time we got back to bikes and how rad they are. #OutsideIsFree Aweness! It is beyond obvious you are a friend of the shop/zilla ...... One doesn't need to be a Vat consultant to get to the crux of the issue. EBS should not have told the OP he would get tax back if they did not know this as a fact. On presentation to SARS at airport he was informed it was not the correct documentation Documentation send from EBS to SARS was falsified (knowingly) EBS threatens OP privately and on an open forum How EBS file taxes, their turnover, Zilla reputation (previously), OP paying Vat, his country of origin, size and colour of the bike matter not. It is strange how in other threads people are quick to praise people for brining this type of things to light and yet here some people are defending it .... ps if you find this boring I suggest you spend your time/energy elsewhere. I always find it fascinating the type of people who take the time to comment on how lame, boring, waste of time and stupid things are? There must be a word for that ...

dirtypot Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I see lots of edited posts and posts going missing.Lolsies at the noobs
Shebeen Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I think people are jumping to defend the Epike bike shop because it has a good name.I know that was bought from the previous owners, but that's what 'goodwill' is. Run a good business and the reputation will last longer than the owners. And it goes without saying, that a reputation doesn't last forever - you need to keep working at it. Many lessons to be learnt here.
HeyYou Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 A bit of sleuthing, reading carefully through some of the emails, allegedly sent(!), and looking at dates, something does not tally. The EBS Tax Invoice posted by Americo is dated 17th February, but it shows as a TAX invoice and lists a VAT Number. Unless Americo has 'doctored' the Invoice, it looks like it was issued at purchase.Was it? Americo left SA in April, was another issued in haste when Americo left SA, as Zilla says? ???????????? Of course, I may be completely off square!
