Since late in 2023 the EU rules have changed its rules regarding VAT and import of good from outside the EU. Consequently, some members have been asked to pay VAT and handling charges to receive their magazines. The application of the revised VAT rules and handling charges has not been uniform or consistent across the EU or even with states.

Air-Britain has now joined the EU’s Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) scheme which means that Air-Britain pays the VAT centrally and that you should not have to pay the VAT or handling charges on your bulk posted monthly/quarterly magazines (separately posted magazines are not covered.).

Air-Britain will cover the new VAT costs until the end of your current membership period. However, the charges will be incorporated 2025 membership rates & beyond..
