VAT Information

New EU VAT regulations that came into place on Jan 1st 2015, state that digital items sold within the EU must have VAT charged on them according to the country of the buyer. This means that before I can sell you a pattern as a digital download, I have to obtain two non-conflicting pieces of proof of address to determine the VAT rate.   I then have to keep this information for 10 years along with a copy of my VAT return.

Unfortunately, I have no way of legally complying with this legislation.   Therefore, all instant downloads are now sold through PayHip who deal with the VAT for me.

UK
As domestic rules apply to domestic sales and both PayHip and I are under the UK VAT threshold, no VAT is chargeable to sales made within the UK.

EU countries outside of the UK
As an instant download through PayHip, you will pay the stated price plus VAT as defined by the country you are in.

Non-EU countries
No EU VAT is chargeable to countries outside of the EU.

Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions have been put in place to comply with the The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. There is a new section covering digital downloads.  Many of these have been put in place to protect both the Consumer and the Trader. .
