Additionally you can basically follow only your local countries vat rules up to 10k
- ben_w 6y ago> Additionally you can basically follow only your local countries vat rules up to 10k I don’t think that was originally the case, I think that’s something campaigners managed to get later. I think VATMOSS happened because big companies chose to operate from whichever EU country had the lowest VAT rate, and charged all sales at that VAT rate, which would explain why it happened. But I’m not a lawyer and I wasn’t doing B2C self employment at the time of the change, so don’t take my word for it.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoThere were good reasons to make some changes but €10K isn't very high. My small one person business does that much in several EU countries and I know I'm far from alone in that.
- zo1 6y agoVAT itself was the original "over-complication", so I wouldn't call it a fair comparison. In all cases, it's easy for big companies to follow VAT regulations, but less so for smaller ones.
