VAT exempt company being made to pay VAT. Anyone have any advice how to get around this?
Hello all,
I am sure I acan't be the first to have hit his barrier but when enrolling as a developer and going through to the checkout there is a mandatory charge of VAT on the subscription. All very well if I am a UK business but in this case I am working with a company that falls outside the EU and tax regulations (Alderney, Channel Islands) and all research tells me that I should NOT be paying tax at source. See fist paragraph: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/managing/international/esl/country-codes.htm
Furthermore, when calling Apple support I was given conlicting information with the worst saying 'just pay it now and claim back later'/ No Problem with that apart form Apple making it clea ron the webste that they won't do such a thing. http://store.apple.com/uk/help/payments
Has anyone had simlar experiences and have any pointers as to how to overcome this?
Thanks
I think you will find - if your Apple account and bank/CC details are considered to be registered in the UK - the all online money shifting to and from the UK are subject to VAT @ 20%.
I think this started with eBay and became applicable to all online "commercial" transactions.
IF your account is UK based, you will have needed an iBAN number from your bank... this is for APPLE who will send any earning you have from your products - to be transferred to your bank. Its an anti money laundering thing!
Keith is correct, Apple dont care about your none USA tax situation, if money was deducted from your earnings from Apple, then you need to contact your tax & vat office for advice.
VAT tends to be redunded after a claim form is submitted, if you are not registered... BUT you will need to include your Apple earnings into your tax return.
There have been some changes and its 5 tears since I quit the gloomy UK for the Aussie sun! But all the banking stuff above is what I have encountered cos my Apple IDs and bank are in UK.

5 days ago I bought a 13" MacBook Air from an apple store. It does not have Maverick on it! I paid full price for it, but since it has the old operating system I kind of feel like I bought a "clearance" item but payed full price for it! Does anyone have any advice, wisdom etc. This is my first Mac and I'm really bummed that it's not the latest and greatest. I know I can download maverick for free.....but are there other differences? Maybe something else that I thought I was getting but didn't? Thanks.
There is no difference, you didnt get "shorted" Mavericks is a FREE DOWNLOAD
Open the APP store and download Mavericks.
You didnt buy a "clearance" item, you just got an Air that was there at the shop before Mavericks was released.
There is no difference other than a 40 min. download. -
Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this? I've tried all the suggestions, and it's hugely frustrating.
If you are in the UK, and the film studio allows re-downloading, and you are signed in with the same account that you bought them with, then they might show under the Purchased link under Quinklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading - if they don't show then check to see if they are hidden (hiding and unhiding).
But you should be keeping and maintaining your own backup of your downloads and noy rely on being able to re-download any item as they are occasionally removed from the store by the content provider (film studio, tv company, record company etc). -

Why can't I connect to my work e-mail (Outlook 2003) using either the regular e-mail account set-up or Mail 2003? Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have yet to find an email server that does not work with Mail.app. Your solution will be to configure its ports and send/receive protocol according to the email server's requirements.
Try the Zimbra support forums. I found this excerpt from a relevant post:
http://www.zimbra.com/forums/users/46221-mac-mail-app-dont-work-outside-company. html
in which the following ports were suggested
ports 25, 465, and/or 487 to send mail.
port 143/993 to retrieve mail over IMAP -

I can open and view billing but when I click on Pay Bill the next screen has only white space from left margin to small column with some account information (only half of the column is visible). The right column is approximately 20 percent of full screen width. I tried to pull an update but link in Tools says that no updates are available..probably due to the fact that I have a 3.6 Firefox edition of browser.
Contact iTunes Customer Service and request assistance

I've just been given a perectly working iPhone 4s which I have set up without having to plug it into a computer. The computer is recognising that something has been plugged in becasue of the noise it's emitting however it's also not coming up in 'My Computer'. How do I connect my iPhone to my iTunes as I have music to put onto it before the beginning of school?? I have uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it again but it's not having any affect and I have the most up to date iOS on the phone and on the iTunes.
Yes, to an extent. But not to the extent that it is actually viewable under 'My Computer'.

I made a 3-minute movie with my iphone 4S. When I attempt to share it via email or message I get a message that says it is too long, that I should try to make a clip. Of course I had rather send the whole thing. What are the possibilities? I think my music and likely my videos and pictures are in the cloud.
