Hi....Just wanted to tell you about a new website i found while browing the internet. this shop sells blank DVD and CD-R without charging VAT (Tax) to Europe. Apparently there is a loop hole in English Law that states if goods are shipped back to the UK from a Tax haven ie Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of man. Then they dont have to pay VAT on the goods.
So if you order some Blank DVD disks from a website based offshore from [URL=http://www.****.co.uk]****.co.uk for example then you pay 17.5% less then what you would do normally.
I'm very happy paying less for my disks and giving less money to the goverment for them to sqander on expensive holidays

I'm curious about something this spamming scumbag wrote. " a Tax haven ie Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of man "...are these places tax free or do they just have lower taxes? Just curious. :)

There is also a thing called "prison" that rectifies this loophole.
A place you are probably familiar with, and where you have had your best sex.

Just to confirm that the loophole claimed does actually exist.
I've bought stuff from Jersey etc & if it's under £18 then as claimed no VAT is payable.
I don't know why the webmaster thought necessary to edit the url as it seemed to be a genuine site that was offering a legitimate service, albeit with a limited product range.

They are all Tax free places.
I'll also confirm with Tim that there is no such legal loop hole.
VAT Taxes are still applied when shipping into the UK - your goods will get held at customs by the courier until you pay the amount owed on the items.
