From: SPB-Cooperator - PM Date: 04 Aug 18 - 12:20 PM Nigel, it is not always a simple matter of buying something cheaper form outside the EU, but whether the same product is availble elsewhere, particularly if it has world wide protection. I would also be concerned if VAT on purchases are replaced by a 50% duty as Thompson suggested. No, I can see no suggestion by Thompson of a rate of 50% duty. Any chance of a reasoned debate, based on facts? ps. using Ctrl+F gives a 'find' option, a quick search for 50% fails to find it apart from SPB's comment (and probably now mine). I also see no reason that something would have 'world wide protection' if it was not available worldwide!
