The above is what Amazon does and I believe they allow authors the option to add or exclude VAT from their price. Amazon handle VAT completely. The problem is that lots of people don't use Amazon/Google/Apple and they sell direct. They have to implement the necessary code changes to detect and calculate VAT correctly. On top of this, you have to register for VAT MOSS (UK) and then report and pay VAT to HMRC (UK). This is a lot of hassle and believe it or not, small businesses have been closing because of this. For us, we had to change our terms of service so that authors and content creators gave us a licence to sell their work so that we can become the supplier and therefore the legal burden is on us to calculate, report and pay VAT to HMRC. |
