Comment on London’s tech sector is under threat from EU VAT reformsparent

1. Customer is an EU and VAT-registered business: no VAT if proof of business provided in the form of a VAT number.

I wish it worked that way in practice BTW. When asking about it at Apple Store in London (I have a business registered in Poland), the clerks replied that unfortunately they don't know what I'm talking about and thus they'll have to charge VAT.

I wish it did as well! (I'm also based in Poland and make the odd purchase in London).

FWIW you can still claim back the VAT, so at least it's "just" a cashflow issue.
