Re: The VAT site's been ****ed for weeks

"Lots of folks know nothing about this EU VAT malarky and it's going to bite lots of people in the bum rather hard."

Indeed. Not least because...

"In spite of HMRC and the government claiming that they have extensively publicised the forthcoming changes, I only became aware of them a couple of weeks ago"

Over the past few months I've brought it to the attention of people I know (both clients and friends) who will be affected and therefore need to know - not a single one of them was already aware. That's not a particularly good indication of HMRC/Gov having extensive publicised it.

(To make matters worse, a couple of them have pretty much displayed a head in the sand attitude now that they do know - but that's another matter!)
