IMPORTANT NOTE FOR EU CUSTOMERS
On 1 July 2021 the EU removed all exemptions for tax and customs duty on low-value items posted from the UK to the EU, meaning that although VAT is 0% on books and magazines in the UK, it is charged within the EU and the VAT (potentially plus a handling fee) now applies to all orders to the EU.
All small publishers in the UK are now in the same position – we are unable to post any items to the EU with VAT or other duties paid.
When ordering any item from Stalactite Publishing, including a Descent subscription, you accept responsibility for paying the VAT and any other local charges on delivery.
Stalactite Publishing is not able to cover any charges levied by your country; it is your responsibility to accept these when placing an order.
We apologise for this situation, but please understand that it is outside our control.Â
