Look, I just re-read this and I think we’re talking about two different things entirely. I’m talking about moving physical goods for export. But, if you've got a client over in Mexico and you're exporting services, then yeah, the tax liability shifts—and that buyer better be able to prove they're actually registered for sales tax.
ambercobra21 said:Why the massive discrepancy? The official European Union site says—and I’m quoting here: "Exports to non-European Union countries will remain VAT-exempt. The exemption process stays exactly as it is now, meaning there are no changes regarding VAT taxation for taxpayers exporting to third countries. Taxpayers registered for VAT will continue to report export deliveries in their VAT returns just like they do currently." But then you look at Opinion.com, and they’re saying: "If goods are shipped from the US to a third country (like Mexico), no VAT is charged—it's an export exemption."
You're spot on, Arthur Bishop6. I'm dealing with a case like this right now and it works exactly how you described. This is an export to a third country, and the tax liability shifts to that third country if the buyer is located there. Since the buyer is American and the seller is exporting to a third country, the exemption applies. It’s exempt under Section 45, subsection 1, point 4 of the Value Added Tax Act.
Thanks. I posted the question in two different spots just to be safe. It honestly blows my mind that the guys at Customs gave me such wrong information.
I need some help figuring out this EORI number situation. Who actually needs one? For example, if a small business picks up goods coming in from Mexico, do they have to have an EORI number? Basically, does every single individual or company importing stuff from European Union countries need to be registered?
Look, the thing is, I don’t even struggle with them anymore. Back when I was pregnant for the first time six years ago, it was a nightmare—constant inflammation and issues. But once I had my kids, those flare-ups just stopped. In fact, I haven't dealt with a single infection in five years. My question isn't about pain, though. It's about whether this is normal: they're always there, and honestly, they aren't tiny—think more like a small walnut than anything else—but they don't bother me. No bleeding, no pain, nothing. Now, after five years of peace, I've had a little inflammation flare up again. I've been using some topical cream, and within two days, the swelling went down, but the hemorrhoid itself won't retract. It’s just... right there. It stays present, even if it isn't inflamed. Has anyone else dealt with this? What do you suggest? thanks..
Hey everyone.. I'm 29 and I've been dealing with hemorrhoids for 7 years now. Here's the deal: they started during my first pregnancy. It was brutal—painful, and I even had some bleeding twice because of how hard things were getting; I’d go three days without a bathroom trip, just total misery. But that was just during the pregnancy. Back then, I was using Fact ointment and some Hemopropin. I only saw a GP once when there was a little blood. The problem is, they never actually went away. The inflammation would flare up and then settle down, but the hemorrhoids themselves stayed put. Is that even normal? For the last five years, there’s basically been this little lump right there. It doesn't cause major issues, but now, after five years, it's acting up again. I've never seen a specialist, and honestly, it’s starting to freak me out. Once the swelling goes down, it's just this pinkish little bump that doesn't hurt at all. I can literally feel it and see it.😲It's been going on like this for 5 years straight.. I notice most of you say the ointments work for a bit, but then everything just comes right back.. I'm planning to head to my doctor tomorrow to talk it out. Maybe she'll refer me to a proctologist, I have no clue what the move is.. My head is spinning with "what ifs." Like, what if it isn't even hemorrhoids? Then again, if it were something truly malignant, wouldn't it have gotten way worse over 6 or 7 years? What do you guys think?
