How many of you have had to pay import fees on the DJTT orders?
According to the customs website I’d have to pay around 23%, which would make it a very expensive controller. If they wouldn’t charge it however, I’d have some money left for some nice HDJ-500s.
i had to pay 110 import tax on my vci100 se and audio 2 dj when i imported to ireland, could have got a vci 100 and audio to dj for cheaper but i believe that the djtt support and community are worthy of the support and had no probs paying it
There is a way round this:
I bought some CDJ’s from the US (I’m in UK) and got the company to write ‘Warranty Replacements - value $20’ on the customs slip
It is my understanding under the OECD double-taxation treaties, US citizens residing/working overseas don’t pay income tax for a “host” country often to the non-resident’s benefit due to the much higher income tax rate of European countries and Chile. Of course in reality the person does pay income taxes in the country BUT is eligible for foreign tax credits when filing to the IRS. Furthermore, US citizens residing abroad for extended periods of time are exempt from income taxes are exempt up to 90,000ish of their income. I work overseas for extended periods up to a year and am exempt from taxation for 89,000 and under. If my income exceeds 190,000 then anything above that exemption in taxed HEAVILY. Needless to say, one usually tries to get contracts below that threshold.
