We urgently need to collate case studies to send to the EU (and UK authorities) to help them see how this new EU VAT legislation will impact the smallest of businesses and sole traders.
We genuinely believe that most of us were ‘under the radar’ and that they had no idea of the problems and chaos they would create.
If you are prepared to submit a case study, which may become public, please fill in the form below – and please also send a copy to your MP and MEPs.

I am happy to be used as a case study. I have already had to stop trading with Europe. I have summarised my details on my website here: http://www.knowledge.co.uk/vatmoss
As I am under the UK VAT Threshold, I do nothing. The new EU VAT rules require me to implement software that does not yet exist, and if it did exist, would cost too much to make trading worthwhile, and to be knowledgeable of the VAT rates in 28 different zones, and be aware of all the exceptions, and acquire residence proof that current breaks European privacy laws, and provide quarterly updates to HMRC. This is not a single Common Market.
