After being postponed once due to the global pandemic, the EU VAT rules for ecommerce came in on July 1st, 2021.

This includes the UK, when selling to EU customers. In this webinar, Alex Wyatt from SimplyVAT.com will summarise the key changes that ecommerce businesses should be aware of when selling imported goods to EU consumers from July.
