Please keep anti eu politics out of this thread
It's more a broad anti-politics point than an anti EU one. The pattern repeats itself throughout the world and all through history:
- Make a bad law
- Discover that the cost of enforcing it is out of all proportion to the benefit
- Punish the population by replacing it with a worse law
- Make a bad law

Not here as well. The new rules are in response to outside eu sellers declaring low value and it sneeking in under the radar. Also above certain thresholds which varied from state to state eu business has to register with vat in a member state. Big eu firms had to resigster with all member states and submit vat returns. The new regime simpiflies everything.
Cross boarder commerce and the rise of online market places have forced a change in the rules.
I will go along with it. It not going to be too burdensome and the reward is huge. Eu sales are huge chunk of change for me. Please keep anti eu politics out of this thread at least.
