warning VAT on eBooks

The thing nobody tells authors about digital sales.

Since May 2020, the UK government zero-rated VAT on eBooks. However, international sales via Amazon and Kobo are still subject to local VAT rates based on the buyer's location.

"If you price your book at £9.99, you aren't always receiving 70% of £9.99. You are receiving 70% of the price MINUS the local VAT."

We provide a comprehensive pricing matrix that accounts for these fluctuations, ensuring you actually earn what you expect across all 190+ territories.
