Finally, the Government has listened to me! In a move for which I have been calling for years, VAT on ebooks will be abolished in the UK – in today’s Budget. For some time now print editions were VAT exempt, but electronic versions were not, hence driving up the cost of ebooks, and punishing authors who rely on the sale of Kindle editions of their books – like me, for example!
Unfortunately, it will not take effect for another nine long months! Come on, do it now, people need something to read whilst they’re laid up in bed, self-isolating themselves!
