This will mean that they do not have to register VAT<\/abbr> separately in each country where they do business. <\/p>\n

To help the estimated 34,000 or so small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) affected by the changes, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC<\/abbr>) has released a short YouTube video: <\/p>\n

The digital services affected include most types of broadcasting, telecommunications and e-service supplies. Examples range from telephone services, supplies of music, films and games to downloads of apps, images, text or other information. <\/p>\n

From 1 January 2015 the place of supply, and therefore taxation, of EU<\/abbr> business-to-consumer supplies of digital services is changing. Currently the place of taxation is where the supplier is established, but from January it will be where the consumer lives. <\/p>\n

On 1 January all EU<\/abbr> Member States will also implement the VAT<\/abbr> Mini One Stop Shop (VAT<\/abbr> MOSS<\/abbr>), to avoid additional administrative burdens and costs if a business is required to register for VAT<\/abbr> in every Member State where it has consumers. <\/p>\n

Sally Beggs, Deputy Director, Indirect Tax, HMRC<\/abbr>, said: <\/p>\n

\n

The VAT<\/abbr> MOSS<\/abbr> will save digital services suppliers from having to register for VAT<\/abbr> in every Member State where they do business, removing a significant administrative burden. Businesses with their main operation or headquarters in the UK<\/abbr> will register with HMRC<\/abbr> to use the service.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Between 27,000 and 42,000 UK<\/abbr> businesses are expected to register for VAT<\/abbr> MOSS<\/abbr> in the UK<\/abbr>. <\/p>\n

While they will be able to register from 20 October 2014, the service will start operating from 1 January. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
