| Dear BrickLink members,
This week we plan to deploy a tax solution for Norway Value Added Tax (VAT).
This change will be affecting sellers and buyers in Norway as well as all sellers
who are selling to this country.
Here is a summary of changes to come:
1. For orders that are imported into Norway, where the value of each individual
item is less than NOK 3,000, VAT will be collected and remitted by BrickLink.
2. Sellers must have at least one on-site payment method available in their store
to process all orders where tax is collected by BrickLink.
3. Starting with the upcoming January 5th billing cycle, Norway sellers will
have VAT applied to their seller fees.
4. Registered business sellers in Norway will now have the option to add their
registration information in their store settings. For these sellers, VAT will
not be added to their monthly fees.
For more details, please see our new help page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2616
Additionally, will be sending out emails to all affected members.
Thank you,
The BrickLink Team

| As a buyer in Norway, I'm very happy to hear this. It means I'll be able
to continue making purchases without having to pay 20–25 USD in fees and customs
for every single small order when it arrives. Had this change not been implemented
on BL, it would've made most of my orders prohibitively expensive. I cannot
stress enough how welcome this change is.
Sellers be aware: it's very important to mark the outside of packages
with this new info. It's usually recommended to have this with the seller's
address, something like "VAT paid by LEGO BrickLink, Inc., VOEC #(insert
number here*)". In my experience, this or similar markings has worked
well on other marketplaces like eBay and Etsy.
* BL's VOEC number is not yet available on the help page, but I'm
hoping it will be soon or that a helpful person might be able to share it here.

I don't think they will share the VOEC number publicly - it will only appear
on VAT receipts for actual orders. This is the case with BL's IOSS numbers
for the UK and EU.

| Please add message template macros for each national tax implementation.
For EU VAT we have VATINC-EQ and VATAMOUNT and some other macros.
For US sales we have ORDERSALESTAX-EQ and ORDERSALESTAX macros.
Such macros have not yet been implemented or at least not documented for Australian
GST, UK VAT, Norway VAT and New Zealand GST:

If you’re seeing a yellow panel “Seller does not support orders shipping to Norway
when each item is less than NOK 3,000 (~US $273.59)” in a store, it’s because
the seller doesn’t have an Onsite payment method associated with Norway.
Onsite payment methods are Stripe or ‘PayPal Onsite’ (not ‘PayPal’).
An Onsite payment method is necessary for BL to collect the import VAT.
So, IOW, it’s not a new ‘minimum buy,’ it’s a ‘failure’ from the sellers to provide
an Onsite payment method for you and you should redirect them to CE_Anastasia’s
post.
Also, as already said, it’s because of a Norvegian law, not a whim from BrickLink.

You’re actually paying less with this new rules than you did before when BL collects
VAT (so, items below NOK 3,000) because you don’t have to pay a brokering fee
to the postal or courrier services at delivery.
Before: pay 1,000 to the seller, plus pay 250 + brokering fee at delivery.
Now: pay 1,250 to seller+BL, nothing at delivery.
And if you buy items that are all above NOK 3,000, you pay at delivery like before.

VOEC HAS to be written at least in the postal address/sticker.
The BrickLink receipt to include for Customs office is sent to the seller and
he has to put it in a clear plastic pocket outside the envelope/parcel.
It's not BrickLink fault, and they won't refund you.
Please contact the seller who apparently didn't do it properly, and try to
discuss with them. Please be cool; it's brand new for Norway (on BrickLink)
and I guess MANY aren't aware...

The cost for handling at the post office you wont get refunded, but it should
be Bricklink's task to refund the taxes if you got proof of payment. It have
happen me a few times on ebay and its really easy to get them to refund taxes
as long as you have a copy of the recipt for paying taxes at Norwegian post office.
Norwegian post office on the other hand would never refund you as long as its
not possible to read VOEC number on the package some wear.

But it can't be BrickLink concern: they don't process the shipping and
apply the proper stickers / invoice, so they've no idea if the seller did
it well or not. In this case, why would they refund on an assumption? Sorry.

Sure:
If a customer has been charged import VAT, then the supplier should refund
the customer the VAT that was charged at the point of supply.
Problem is, it can't apply to a Marketplace. The Marketplace collects VAT
but the supplier is the seller, the Shop.

Oh OK then. Fair for the customer. But then the MarketPlace should communicate
with the seller, ensure they're educated on this subject, and in some cases
close the shop if they've to refund abnormally often. More Administration
rules to set up and tasks involved... Prettu complex IMO.

“I’m keeping your money because it’s too complicated for me to do more than what
I should do which is just to take that proof from Customs you gave me and refund
you.”
Besides, it’s not really fair to the customer: you buy €100, you pay +€20 of
VAT to the marketplace, and then €24 of VAT to customs (+ brokerage fee), and
you get refunded €20 by the marketplace.
You are still out €4 + the fee.
Better than being out €24 + the fee but not exactly fair.

Oh - it'd not be the first time they're late on something; see the Canadian
taxes, the markup margin taxation, and some buyer complained yesterday saying
he's not taxable 
I meant, for now instead of waiting for BrickLink, it could be instead the Seller
role to refund the double taxation, especially if he didn't respected or
applied the due procedure.

According to bricklink instructions "You MUST NOT use BrickLink’s VOEC number

This contradicts what has been said above. Which one is it; MUST or MUST NOT?

MUST: registered on the CN 23 electronically (will not be visible on the printout)
MUST NOT: written on the package
Same as shipping from Norway to EU. Which did not work very well in the beginning
either as the Norwegian postal service had not made it possible to register the
number electronically in the start, but (except for Sweden) works very well now.
In Sweden they will charge VAT again if they suspect something is wrong, and
if you complain and document that all were correct, they will answer something
like "Yes, we can see that your information is correct, but since we charged
VAT, something must be wrong" And they will never admit that it was themselves
that made the mistake.

Bureaucracy….
Even when there’s an ombudsperson, it’s generally a pain because you need to
make a formal (written) complaint first, then you wait, then you appeal to the
mediator, then you wait again….
All that for a few euros.

Norwegian post office on the other hand would never refund you as long as its
not possible to read VOEC number on the package some wear.

What is my next step to get a refund of the VAT paid to BL?

VOEC HAS to be written at least in the postal address/sticker.
The BrickLink receipt to include for Customs office is sent to the seller and
he has to put it in a clear plastic pocket outside the envelope/parcel.
It's not BrickLink fault, and they won't refund you.
Please contact the seller who apparently didn't do it properly, and try to
discuss with them. Please be cool; it's brand new for Norway (on BrickLink)
and I guess MANY aren't aware...

According to bricklink instructions "You MUST NOT use BrickLink’s VOEC number
for any other purpose and NEVER write this number on your packages."
This contradicts what has been said above. Which one is it; MUST or MUST NOT?
|
MUST: registered on the CN 23 electronically (will not be visible on the printout)
MUST NOT: written on the package
Same as shipping from Norway to EU. Which did not work very well in the beginning
either as the Norwegian postal service had not made it possible to register the
number electronically in the start, but (except for Sweden) works very well now.
In Sweden they will charge VAT again if they suspect something is wrong, and
if you complain and document that all were correct, they will answer something
like "Yes, we can see that your information is correct, but since we charged
VAT, something must be wrong" And they will never admit that it was themselves
that made the mistake.

I'm trying to fill BL VOEC 7digit number in UPS site and it says format is
wrong.
So, I tried to add NO in the beginning and it didn't work, also played with
MVA and didn't work either.
So, is BrickLink's VOEC/TAX ID wrong or is it UPS site wrong?

| | Dear BrickLink members,
This week we plan to deploy a tax solution for Norway Value Added Tax (VAT).
This change will be affecting sellers and buyers in Norway as well as all sellers
who are selling to this country.
Here is a summary of changes to come:
1. For orders that are imported into Norway, where the value of each individual
item is less than NOK 3,000, VAT will be collected and remitted by BrickLink.
2. Sellers must have at least one on-site payment method available in their store
to process all orders where tax is collected by BrickLink.
3. Starting with the upcoming January 5th billing cycle, Norway sellers will
have VAT applied to their seller fees.
4. Registered business sellers in Norway will now have the option to add their
registration information in their store settings. For these sellers, VAT will
not be added to their monthly fees.
For more details, please see our new help page: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2616
Additionally, will be sending out emails to all affected members.
Thank you,
The BrickLink Team

| Nobody can help you get the money back from Bricklink. Bricklink refuses any
repayment! Try the seller or your carrier.
Good luck!

| I have tried to contact Bricklink several time, but I have not recieved any response.
It looks like they want to keep the 80 euros.
It should be pretty simple for Bricklink. Either collect VAT and refund when
they make mistakes, or stop collecting VAT at all.
The seller says it is impossible for him to refund the VAT because it is already
sent to Bricklink. Does anyone know if that is correct?
If it is Bricklinks task to refund, and they do not respond, I guess my next
step should be to contact Norwegian tax authorities to get Bricklink delisted
from VOEC.

I can confirm that Paypal collects the VAT in behalf of Bricklink. The ammount
is taken from the total payment and automatically forwarded to Bricklink. The
seller does not have possession of the VAT money at any point in time.

| Anastasia has just updated the info page. Hopefully it will get better
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2616
"Sellers are required to ensure that VOEC number issued by BrickLink is provided
to Norwegian Customs authorities for each order that contains only low-value
items.
Failure to provide a VOEC number from BrickLink may result in errors and delays
because an order’s value would have to be identified at the border.
How to provide the VOEC number digitally:
Freight by postal service:
Provide the VOEC number (7 digits) via «electronic advance data» (M33/ITMATT
V1.) when booking the freight from your local postal service. Enter your 7-digit
VOEC number in the ITMATT field «sender.identification.reference».
Freight by other transporters, for example couriers, express delivery services:
Enter your VOEC number (7 digits) in the EDI message or via API as directed by
the carrier when booking the freight.
You can find up-to-date information on how to sell goods within the VOEC scheme
to Norwegian consumers here. If you have questions about how to provide your
VOEC number digitally, please contact the carrier of your goods"
