Whitehall at war: Govt’s webocrats trash vital digital VAT site

Small business are packing up because of it!

My wife sells knitting patterns on line and there has been a lot of fuss about digital downloads on various sites. At least one other seller has decided to cease trading. Visiting the web site for MOSS doesn't help much and people have reported that their accountants have told them that as some EU countries have a turnover threshold for VAT registration of ZERO they will need to register even if they are turning over worldwide less than 10,000 GBP a year.

Fortunately I found http://www.vatlive.com/eu-vat-rules/distance-selling-eu-vat-thresholds/ which explains that all counties have adopted a distance selling threshold of about e35,000p.a.
