1/2 A quirk of Brexit was that the UK only adopted part of the EUs rules regarding publishing seller details on Online Marketplaces. As a result this is the sort of ---lox you'll see on eBay
2/2 for more see my blog ravasglobal.com/post/the-uk-…
So this is the name of an ID verified Director listed on Companies House. Full Stop Comma Maha (underlined)
1/2 I am surprised that @fsb_policy seems to have missed the point that the threshold is set at a loophole inducing £90k per platform (so across eBay and Amazon that would be £180k) news.bloombergtax.com/daily-…
2/2 or that the biggest threat to anyone selling online is VAT avoiding competition. I don't know any online sellers who do not want to see this happen. news.bloombergtax.com/daily-…
1/5 I was quoted in Bloomberg's Daily Tax report today along with Mike Lewis of Tax Watch with regards to the Governments consultation on the extension of the rules that obligate the collection of VAT by Online Marketplaces.news.bloombergtax.com/daily-…
4/5 and this can only get worse if Online Marketplaces collect VAT on all sales except those made by entities with a turnover below £90k.news.bloombergtax.com/daily-…
5/5 To make matters worse that £90k would be per platform meaning that entities could also spread their sales across multiple platforms and companies. Anyone who sells online will know that those not paying VAT are the biggest threat to their business.news.bloombergtax.com/daily-…
Gratuitous plug for the upcoming London show for Porcupine Tree offshoot Voyage 35 at Shepherds Bush Empire on the 16th of September. On sale will be the band's first release 'Departures'. There are other shows. See voyage35.com for details
1/3 Proper Music co-founder @graham1471 Graham Jones author of The Vinyl Revival And The Shops That Made It Happen and Last shop Standing (also a film documentary) spent 32 years travelling the UK selling music to independent shops. vinylgraham.substack.com/p/t…
2/3 Graham has visited more British record stores than anyone else alive, which gives him a unique perspective on physical music retail in the UK. Graham now has a substack and this latest post recounts my battle to save UK music retail from tax abuse. vinylgraham.substack.com/p/t…
3/3 I should add that @ProperMusicGrp Proper Music supported me during this fight particularly during the Judicial Review in 2012 and have gone on to become the most important independent music distributor in the UK. vinylgraham.substack.com/p/t…

It really does feel like Government / HMRC are (finally) taking serious the enormous amount of tax avoidance / evasion that is widespread amongst small business: which hurts law-abiding entrepreneurs big time. They need to do even more. But good step up. birminghammail.co.uk/news/co…
1/3 RAVAS just submitted a response to the Government's Extending Online Marketplace Liability to Combat Non-Compliance consultation which closed tonight, and it was a pleasure to work with both @PaulJMonaghan of @FairTaxMark and Mike Lewis of @taxwatch .
2/3 All three campaign groups made their voices heard on this important issue. For decades now Online Retail has been blighted by VAT evasion that gives an unfair competitive advantage to those who decide not to pay tax by setting up bogus UK companies
