VAT Information

UK and Europe

VAT (Value Added Tax) is added to all qualifying items sold within Europe.  The current rate of VAT in the UK is 20%.  Printed books and sheet music are currently VAT exempt but audio CDs, DVDs, posters, flash cards and other merchandise include VAT in the price.

If your order includes a postage charge and VAT items, you will be charged a proportional VAT charge.

Rest of the World

VAT is not charged on items being sent to countries outside of the European Union however we will complete a customs declaration and the receiving country may well charge a form of taxation on imported goods.  It is not possible for us to influence this or tell you beforehand how much this charge may be.  We have no contact with the customs and duty officials of any country and it is not possible for us to get in touch with them about your order.  If you choose to pay the customs taxes and then return the items to us you can attempt to claim the costs from the department you paid them to but we cannot be responsible for them.
