Since the UK will no longer be operating in cooperation with EU tax bodies after the transition period ends, at that point the changes in the article linked to above will take effect. Those changes mean that companies functioning as online marketplaces (OMPs) selling directly to UK customers must (at considerable expense) register with the UK VAT office, and file remittance paperwork with the VAT office for every item sold. (This paperwork would have to be filed even when "selling" items that are below the VAT thresholds, or free. We would be entirely willing to simply decline to charge UK customers VAT, but the new regulations won't permit that.)
It doesn't cost anything to register for VAT and they can use exactly the same sales records that they need to keep now to submit their returns, they don't need to file something for every transaction. https://twitter.com/EbooksDirect/status/1318176315...

While it's obviously terrible news, here's some good news to lift the mood:

You've only responded to one aspect of the problem by pointing out what the UK doesn't have to offer.
I asked what you think UK does have to offer - and you've come up with nothing. THAT's the problem.
His point is that it has the square root of bugger all to do with Brexit. Is it really that hard to grasp?I asked what you think UK does have to offer - and you've come up with nothing. THAT's the problem.

"An industry insider tells Guido the firm, ‘UCB’, embarked on a downsizing initiative in which they attempted to shut down their UK operations entirely and shift everything to Belgium, only for the highly-skilled workforce to refuse to move. In the end they gave up, and so the pharmacologists have announced £1 billion of new investment on a 47-acre British campus."

Its fine to take an irrelevant look at Brexit, when you know what you are talking about... sadly very few do. I miss Brooking.

I still enjoy avocado with prawns, and I really don’t care much about food fashion, I will keep buying them whatever the trade tariff
Standards slipping round here.

Mr Barnier, what is it you'd like to talk about? Put it out there for all to see!Oh! You'd like to reiterate the same old line, the one we've told you we cannot accept.
He's like that car insurer who, after jacking up your renewal price and you've gone elsewhere, still tries to get your business after all that!
Time. Waster. Do. One.

Yes you are absolutely correct, I certainly did use the incorrect word, obviously. I really must be much more careful in the future.

And my point is that he's fundamentally wrong. Further, not one of you has been able to give any hint of where UK's future growth will come from.Boris has promised new prosperity in the sunlit uplands yet there's absolutely no indication of how it's going to be delivered. This from two weeks ago,
"The Prime Minister has called on British businesses to exploit the new opportunities he believes leaving the European Union will bring to the UK."
Only true believers can see the light...
