Just a quick one, am I right in thinking that I don't need to register for
anything, providing I just continue to sell in the UK?

It's a shame about the threshold, not that we ever came close to it anyway
with our combined sales. But it kind of puts a dampner on dreams people may have
of expanding their stores. I think I'll just sell within the UK until things
get established and ironed out.

In my experience its really hard to explain to people a sudden price increase
on products for tax/VAT, ultimately, this will increase prices across the board
at a time that people want everything for nothing!.

Fingers crossed we can all stay connected and find a solution that works for
everyone.

Even if you sold to EU, you shouldn’t have to register:

1. To the “OSS” (One-Stop-Shop) VAT platform, with the 10,000€ threshold: It’s
for EU and Northern Ireland sellers.  You’re not in EU and you’re not in Northern
Ireland.

2. To the “IOSS” (Import OSS) VAT platform: You are selling through a marketplace
(BrickLink), it’s the marketplace that’s responsible, and BL has implemented
that.

If and when you sell to EU again although you may be limitied by the 10k limit
for Europe you can still continue to ship to other countries outsides the EU

I have only restricted selling to Europe but I still ship to places Like USA,
Canada, Australia etc...

There’s no “may,” the “10k limit” if for EU (and Northern Ireland) sellers only.

BL’s last message was sent to everyone and wasn’t specific enough and even if
the official EU websites are full of blah and not always clear either, there’s
a lot of web pages out there that explain particular cases if you look for them.

So, in short, again:
— OSS = for EU and NI sellers only, if they sell in EU (but not home country)
for more than 10,000€ per year, or if they want to.
— IOSS = for marketplaces, or non-EU sellers that don’t use a marketplace.

Non-EU, non-NI sellers: you sell through BL, BL takes care of the VAT when necessary,
there’s no thresholds nor other reasons for you to register anywhere.
