VAT can only be charged once to end-user by store in originating member state, so buy in the EU when the VAT will have been paid. Buy outside the EU and VAT is correctly added to total.

Ok

Incoming package ex. DSLR camera
cost: 1000$
shipping cost: 100$

Customs officer must calulate only the item price so it will be
1000/15%VAT=150$ I have to pay for taxes to the customs officer and I agree with that.

In real life
Customs officer calculates the tax in following method
1000+100shipping+1100/15%VAT=165$ tax

Question: Is this legal? and where I can find info about it?

yes the "in real life" is correct about the calculation of taxes...coz you paid the shipping overseas...in OZ is the same...

where we differ, in OZ, is that anything under AUS$1000 is tax exempt coz the time wasted in processing the tax claim costs more than the money collected...

so we ask for dodgy invoices, even in the commercial world...

Thx guys my question was answered, for sure it's less problematic buying stuff from EU but sometimes it worth to get stuff outside cuz they'r lot cheaper even with the import tax and vat calculations included
