I have been buying a lot of very nice, old, test- and measurement equipment on E-bay lately. Now, I understand, but not necessarily agree ;-), I have to pay VAT when importing this stuff.


Yes, when you buy stuff, you know (though you don't like) that you have to pay the tax on it

But when you're supposed to be getting it "free" how can any tax rate on zero work out to anything other than zero?!

Even if the VAT were at 100%, that should still come to zero on a price of zero!
