With the loophole being closed on films operating in the UK, but using Jersey based distributors, does the government really believe that online stores will simply start charging their customers VAT thereby destroying the only advantage they have? Who wants to pay the same price for a DVD online and then have to wait 2-5 days to get it when you can go to the nearest high street store and buy it there?
Or, as I believe, will these companies move so they are physically located in Jersey (like Play.com), thereby destroying UK based jobs?
This is useless legislation. It will change nothing.
