I’ve just received my print copy. I had no idea it was coming from Slovenia, a country of which I am only vaguely aware but believe to be in Europe.
I’ve only read the mediography so far but will delve into the rules themselves shortly. It’s fair to say there’s no likelihood of being intimidated by their length.
I have just bought a print copy, my first ever purchase from itch, having discovered Kriegsmesser only today through the Glatisant newsletter. I’m in the UK and VAT was added, though I think only to the PDF portion of the price. I assume this is because PDF’s are regarded as software, whereas printed books and magazines are exempt from VAT, so this is presumably correct.
While it doesn’t pertain to this purchase, the collection of VAT at the point of purchase since Brexit has been very flawed in my experience, at least as far as eBay goes. I’ve had to pay it on imported items whose cost is below the threshold of £15, and also seen it applied to print items, and whenever I’ve queried it with the seller have received no response. Broaching the issue with eBay, which appears to be entirely staffed by bots these days, would require more energy than I have, and would almost certainly be futile. Thankfully, from what I can tell, it is being correctly handled here.
Apologies for the rant. I’m looking forward to receiving the zine.
