VAT on goods from Sweden

[sunnybono]

Afternoon All,

Hopefully this is a relatively straight forward one for somebody that has done something similiar.

I am looking to buy approx £5000 worth of flooring from a supplier in Sweden who from what I can see charge 25% VAT. Am I likely as an individual, not business, likely to be hit for any VAT or duty in the UK, and is there a way of claiming back the 25% Swedish VAT and paying our "reduced" 20%?

Thanks

Thanks. As I expected.

Was hoping there was a way of getting the 5% difference back but not an issue.
