The UK networking industry is due for a windfall of at least £300m says tax consultancy The Customs House. Customs and Excise has regarded LAN equipment as telecommunications gear, which is subject to import duty. The Customs House has campaigned to have such kit reclassified as PC peripheral equipment, which is not subject to duty, in line with US practice. A European Court ruling has confirmed this change and allows for retrospective claims to be made back to 1999. Ongoing litigation may extend this to 1995.
