[Amazon has stopped selling wines, beers and spirits
to its customers in Northern Ireland as
it wrestles with new customs rules post-Brexit.
The online retailer is concerned
that excise duty - a tax - will now have
to be paid twice on all shipments of alcohol
which are sent from the British mainland
across the Irish Sea.
Amazon’s suspended orders in Northern Ireland
at the end of December,
shortly after the UK/EU trade deal was published,
and the decision is unlikely to be
reversed until the company obtains
clarity on the tax situation from HMRC.
One Amazon customer from Belfast,
who didn’t want to be identified, told ITV News
his subscription for a delivery of whisky
every three months had been cancelled.
“My biggest issue is they will no longer supply
any alcohol to Northern Ireland,
despite me being a Prime customer
and having bought hundreds of
items over the past fifteen years,” he said.]
They should try selling it with Double Tax
someone will.
Not good for their
Prime Customers.
