[quote name='saxobass' post='907554' date='Jul 27 2010, 10:31 PM']Hi all. I`d like to buy a Godin A4 bass from Canada at a very favourable price. Has anybody had any experience of taxes due, (customs etc.) especially as this is a commonwealth country?[/quote]
If the customs fee (tax) is equal it should be something like 3-4 % of the whole price. Then they will charge VAT, which, I believe, is 15% at the moment in England. They will charge that from the price of the bass + shipping. So, if you buy this bass you can calculate something like this:
Bass - 650
Shipping+ins. - 150
Tax - 32
VAT - 124,8
Total price 956,8
This may not be accurate. Depends on the price of shipping but it won't be too far from this.
