E-Books VAT exempt ...but not according to Gumroad
Looked at buying an ebook that shouldn't carry VAT on it as the UK treasury made e -books exempt.... Sent an email to customer services asking why this was happening and got one back saying they had to collect it.... which is simply incorrect. FROM HMRC site: Items that are entitled to the VAT zero rate The following electronically supplied products are now eligible for the zero rate of VAT: books booklets brochures pamphlets leaflets newspapers journals and periodicals - including magazines children’s picture and painting books
