Yes, the rumour that this will apply to "physical" and "posted" products from 2016 is what concerns me. And the fact that Etsy is not helping, yet. I just noticed that your blogpost was mentioned in a Tweet by "MDQuilts", on the #EUVAT (which is a great way to keep up with info). Cheers, Lisa. 2Jan14Lisa S at Sunset Seamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140597532680391372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-1634360383670741672015-01-02T10:43:16.704+11:002015-01-02T10:43:16.704+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lisa S at Sunset Seamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140597532680391372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-5421102825727981972014-12-31T16:02:38.806+11:002014-12-31T16:02:38.806+11:00What I don't understand is why there is such s...What I don't understand is why there is such silence on this matter. It is a tax law and there will be penalties.Thousands of Australians sell digital products to the 28 EU countries and like me, some of them will have no idea that this law applies to them for all sales from tomorrow. And in 2016, it will apply for 'goods' posted as well, so ignoring this will not make it go away. We need to get with the program. <br /><br />This silence is very strange. It makes you wonder why we have an MP for Small Business when there's been zero advice about this from that bureau.

It is a worry that Australians have not heard anything about this from their government - considering it creates a significant and onerous burden on Australian small businesses. I've written to the Federal Minister for Small Business, Trade and Innovation, and also the Victorian Minister for Small Business and the Premier, asking them to clarify the position for Australians.<br /><br />Here is a useful outline of the requirements and ramifications from Forbes business magazine (though it relates mostly to the US): http://www.forbes.com/sites/janetnovack/2014/05/15/european-vat-10-things-online-sellers-need-to-know-about-taxes-on-digital-goods-and-services/<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Lisa S.<br /><br /><br />Lisa S at Sunset Seamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140597532680391372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-58758951777102355092014-12-29T11:56:05.849+11:002014-12-29T11:56:05.849+11:00Terrific!
