The leading UK marketplaces eBay, Amazon, and Fruugo have agreed to adhere to HMRC’s public list citing e-marketplaces to publicly commit to tackling VAT fraud among traders using their online platforms. This a great move for european based sellers are non-European sellers benefited from the weak VAT tax policies and evade the tax which in turn made their products expensive in par with non-European sellers.
Now, HMRC has instructed the e-marketplaces to educate the sellers on VAT obligations, provide data on traders, and react swiftly to evidence of non-compliance.
