What the petition asks
Allow second hand goods to be imported at the reduced rate of 5% VAT, in the same way Art and Collectables are, and allow for them to be bought and sold under the VAT Margin scheme. This way the second hand goods trade will not be so drastically effected by the new Brexit trade agreement.
This will also allow for prices of second hand goods to be kept at a competitive and reasonable price for consumers.
