There are guidelines, but tax is still a matter of the Member-States. The Uk interprets those guidelines in its own way: "How to stimulate business with as little bureaucracy as possible" vs. the French, Italian, German... way.




My business is registered in France and I do not collect/pay VAT as I have not yet reached the threshold. However, I can still APPLY for a VAT number without actually becoming subject to VAT in order to comply with the new EU directive. So there are really no additional administrative complications, other than the monthly EU Vat declaration (called DES here). It takes less than 5 minutes to complete.

The situation is slightly different in the UK which is where the OP is based.

@Willamson - considering how we're all more or less traceable, even on the net, I wouldn't boast publicly about dubious arrangements I might have made with an acquaintance.
