For any business who supplies digital services to private customers in other EU member states, the VAT rules are changing from 1st January 2015.

 

The changes only apply to businesses who supply such services to private customers, and not businesses.

 

The impact for those are affected, is that they will need to charge VAT in the country of the customer, and pay that VAT over to the tax authorities in that country.

 

While this appears to mean such businesses will need to register for VAT in each country they supply such services to customers in, the EU is launching a “One Stop shop” to allow such businesses to avoid having to register in multiple countries.
