Do we pay VAT on childrens berets?
VAT is neither payable on childrens berets nor on shipping costs relating to those berets. We operate our shopping cart using a programme called romancart. Romancart allows us to sell childrens berets without applying VAT but does not allow us to exclude VAT from the related shipping costs. Therefore we charge a reduced shipping charge for childrens berets in the EU so that when VAT has been erroneously applied by the progamme, the total of shipping charge plus incorrectly applied VAT equals the advertised shipping charge.
