Hi All,
I use album suppliers from the UK, Europe and Austrailia, and until now, I’ve been able to import UK and Italian albums and not worry about the difference in VAT.

Following a recent ruling by HMRC, printed wedding and photobooks no longer apply for VAT.

Does anyone know if this would apply to Irish revenue as well as within the EU the goods were not subject to VAT or are we now going to get screwed by revenue on increased (irish)VAT rates for albums imported from the UK as well as outside the US?
