VAT-free Imports From The Channel Islands
Many low-valued exports of goods from the Channel Islands to the United Kingdom were exempt from value added tax (VAT) until April 2012, due to the operation of an EU tax relief called Low Value Consignment Relief (LVCR). LVCR was not limited to the Channel Islands, and continues to apply to all low-valued imports into the EU from other countries outside of the EU.

Famous quotes containing the words imports and/or channel:
“French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
