What a nightmare! Such a pain for creatives trying to make a living! Xx

It certainly complicates things, that’s for sure! Us writers aren’t usually known for our in-depth knowledge of VAT accounting rules across EU borders 🤣 It’s stretching bits of my brain that usually remain untroubled…

Oh that's something I need to look into too. By the time substack and stripe have taken a cut there will not be much left with this on top. Do you know the percentage?

I don't know the percentage, but I've fallen down a rabbit hole with researching this and am less clear on it now than I was to start with! You potentially need to be VAT registered with each EU country that you sell to as they are all different, and need to be accounted for individually. And it's obviously in addition to regular tax responsibilities. It's seriously headache-inducing.
