It's a tough market-place
In this highly competitive world it is even more imperative to bring your goods to market faster and cheaper than ever before.
To do this the prudent business will seek the best available source of goods, wherever in the world that might be, and look for every conceivable legitimate way to reduce the total cost that must be met in delivering the product to the customer. | |

Area of opportunity
We believe that a frequently overlooked area of opportunity for cost reduction is customs duties. We know that the importation and exportation of goods brings with it a multitude of questions and costs that can seem baffling.
At Bell Davies we provide comprehensive advice on all these matters.
Our understanding of the subject, experience and contacts allow us to guide you through the maze of customs regulations and procedures. We ensure that you take full advantage of all cost reduction possibilities whilst meeting your obligations to Customs.

Why not lower your costs?
A customs duty review will often lead to substantial indirect tax reductions that can be applied to your business going forward; perhaps this should be considered.
Furthermore, our work also frequently results in significant sums being refunded from historical transactions.
You simply cannot afford to run the risk that you are failing to maximise all the opportunities available to reduce your cost base; allow us to explore the possibilities with you.
You might find that the result is an increase in company profits and an increased competitive edge. | | |

How good are we?
After working closely with Bell Davies over a number of months in preparing and taking a ground breaking customs duty case via the UK Tribunal system to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg, Roderick Cordara QC, who is widely recognised as one of the leading UK practioners in the field of indirect taxation, has this to say...............
"Bell Davies are the clear leaders in the field of customs duty law and litigation" |
In 2005 Bell Davies won a landmark case at the European Court of Justice (ECJ)
We have secured a judgement from the ECJ which means that an importer can apply for duty repayment and oblige Customs to reject the request for repayment by way of a reasoned decision or undertake a review concerning the revision sought. In the case of duty paid in error on buying commission then the duty must be repaid.
It follows that duty paid on buying commission can never properly be retained because it is not part of the price paid or payable for the goods nor is it a dutiable addition to the price paid or payable. More |
