Dear all,
just a short reminder that the sale will end on Dec 31st, so only 12 days to go! Thank you all for your business!
I would also like to inform you that from Jan. 1st the Pipeloops website will be closed for a few days. This is not for holidays, but to incorporate some new European VAT laws. The EU in its infinite wisdom has decided that beginning Jan 1st 2015 for download products VAT shall be based on the country of residence of the customer. This means:
Any online shop selling downloadable products within the EU must show the proper VAT for each country (within the EU) it is doing business in. In other words, a customer from Italy shall see (and pay) a dfiferent amount of tax than a customer from Spain. But only for downloads, this is not true for physical goods, where the VAT is based on the home country of the business (Germany in my case).
It appears obvious that this will require some programming effort!
There is also another effect: As Germany has one of the lowest VAT rates in the EU (at 19%), most European customers of download versions of our samplesets will have to pay more VAT than before!
So the saving you can get from buying during our sale is even bigger!
Have a great Christmas Season!
Reiner
