Faaaaaantastic! Just what we all need - VAT on digital services from July 1. This'll kill off a new client and probably kybosh some of my future income.
Typical, today is the first I've heard about it. Now I know why an established client has put their web site to sleepy-bye. So that makes two that'll go back to selling the old-fashioned way.
VAT always was a stealth tax, now the EU wants to strangle investment in the net because they've discovered they're missing out somewhere. Having taken five years to figure it out, suddenly it's a sledgehammer right between the eyes.
The American Government have a moratorium on this until 2004, so they will now think that the EU's having a go at them and start making intercontinental trade next to impossible.
Great.
