If you find that you lose motivation or get bored with a side project then I think you really need to ask yourself why you are doing it. We find the time and energy for those things that we place importance on. If the project isn't imp

I run a VAT Registered business and we had one notification of the change of place of supply - despite the fact that we already do cross-border sales and allow our customers in the EU who have a VAT number to deal with VAT under the existin

That's what MOSS is for. The issue I'm describing is how to prove location in order to complete the MOSS return.

That is the case but I'm not seeing US startups worrying too much about complying. As you say, how will it be enforced? I imagine it is likely to be an issue if they have an actual EU presence but otherwise ...?

The effective removal of the threshold is another important issue. I'm trying to raise awareness of the impending issue for those companies who are VAT registered. A good example would be a design agency who also wants to launch a prod

Creating a smooth path to checkout and removing obstacles is really important in terms of conversion rates. Having to ask for information that people are going to see as very intrusive during that checkout flow is highly likely to cause car

It's actually going to benefit these larger companies if people are forced into selling their products via App Stores, Amazon etc. because doing so via their own store becomes impossible. We're already VAT registered. We already d

I started my company in 2001 and then in 2006 was doing well enough for my husband to join as Director and 50% shareholder. Since then we've launched a successful product ( http://grabaperch.com ) allowing us to move away fro

Yeah the implementation in terms of how we verify that someone lives where they say they live is going to be a royal PITA. We're already VAT registered and already trade with EU countries so we're pretty much set up to deal with t

At Perch our biggest cost is support in terms of our time and the requirement for more people to scale it, it's why we don't offer any kind of free version. We actually only hear from about 25% of our customers and only 10% raise

Well, good luck with that approach. I'll continue to try and help out other small indie firms run their businesses and support their families. It's not a solution, I don't have a solution, I'm just trying to help. If any

Have Avangate issued anything to customers about the changes? It would be interesting to know how they are dealing with it on behalf of customers. Currently does the system allow you to sell to VAT registered businesses in other EU countrie
