VAT / UK SALES TAX

VAT stands for value-added tax, which is charged on most goods and services within the European Union. VAT is charged at the prevailing rate (currently 17.5%)

In accordance with the laws governing members of the European Union, MrFlag.com is obliged to charge VAT on all orders delivered to destinations in member countries of the EU. VAT is charged in accordance with the local legislation in each member state.

Orders sent to addresses anywhere else in the world are not subject to VAT, but they may be subject to local taxes and customs charges. MrFlag.com does not deduct these local charges when you make your purchase, and is unable to advise on what they may be.

For customers with a delivery address within the EU, VAT charges for your order will be itemised on the last page of your order, your e-mail confirmation of the order and on the invoice dispatched with your order.

CHARITIES AND VAT

Certain goods and services are zero-rated or reduced-rated when purchased by charities, regardless of whether the charities are registered for VAT or not. For each of these reliefs specific conditions have to be met. Charities wishing to take advantage of these reliefs must provide their suppliers with eligibility declarations certifying that the conditions have been met for that relief.

MrFlag.com will charge VAT on all orders from charities unless accompanied by an appropriate eligibility declaration.
