I never got charged on mine as he put it down as a gift but even so it's 17.5 % vat if you do
Which still makes it much cheaper
If you use kiwi dad Rodney he will put it as gift well he did for me
I think I answered your other thread too!

I bought mine from Rodney in August. I was charged VAT at 17.5% - worked out about GBP40 or thereabouts as you're charged on the full cost of the item and the delivery.
Rodney declared it as a gift and put down a much reduced value on the item (and delivery) so that if you're charged VAT, it will be on the lower amount too.
