Correctly recording and recovering import tax (vAT)

KH

Question

I recently placed an order with a Chinese company (not Alibaba) and had it shipped under DDP incoterms. In addition to the cost of the goods and shipping, the invoice also includes a line item for “Import Taxes (21%)” with an amount next to it. I would like to be reimbursed for this vAT charge. However, in Dexxter it is not possible to recover vAT from a non-EU supplier. What is the best way to deal with this?

Import tax is not the same as vAT (as far as I know). You did not paid vAT on that order, so you cannot reclaim it.

Can I place business orders on Temu? How do I indicate this on Temu, in my accounts and on my return? Am I then not paid vAT on it?

Thanks in advance
