>Thing is, it's not straightforward, especially with UK jumping head first with little warning into moving VAT payments from logical place (customs) to illogical place (foreign seller).

This will be the protocol for EU as well, but it was delayed to June 2021 if I'm not mistaken!

But I'm with you, information about such matters is so detached from the "regular" citizen it's weird how in 2021 things aren't straight forward. Like people give shit to Terms & Services of apps, social networks, etc, because they're are ridiculously lengthy and with legal/uncommon language, but a lot of government documentation and laws are written the same way.

Yes, I know this will be protocol too - I don't even have any expectations Poland will handle it better too, but that's a different topic. But that's why I mentioned "Jumping head first". Because that's what they effectively did.
