An incredibly interesting article. Presemably this VAT change will go hand in hand with the European arrest warrant. I can imagine someone self publishing a steamy £3.50 e-novel finding themselves rushed off to a detention centre in readiness for extradition to face tax evasion charges in some far flung EU country. The 5 million self employed or micro companies in the UK, many (like mine) taking advantage of e-technology, will find another nail firmly placed in their coffin. Really the UK government (as well as the EU of course) is hopeless dollop.
