Your link applies to digital services only, while the UK change is for physical goods only.

But MOSS is indeed scheduled to be extended to cover physical goods on July 1st, 2021 (https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/vat/modernisi...), and this UK scheme is indeed somewhat similar to that.

However, EU vendors only have to charge destination country VAT if they exceed a yearly sales threshold (currently 35000 EUR or 100000 EUR depending on destination country, and after July 1st 10000 EUR EU-wide).

And the EU import scheme will remain optional to out-of-EU sellers, unlike the UK scheme.

Thanks for pointing that out, it's an important detail.

I worked on a VAT system for an online store but I never looked into the regulation so my knowledge is limited!
