New EU VAT rules for digital goods: a European Commissioner responds

For UK users, the UK tax authority, HMRC, has made a small but temporary concession relating to the collection of two pieces of information that identify a customer's location:

"UK micro-businesses that are below the current UK VAT registration threshold, and who register for the VAT Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) may, until 30 June 2015, base their 'customer location' VAT taxation and accounting decisions on information provided to them by their payment service provider. This means the business need not require further information to be supplied by the customer."
