Why Codester is unavailable in the UK?

Hi,

A Codester user was trying to purchase one of my scripts from the UK but he got the notice "We are currently not able to accept new orders from your selected country".

Why is this happening? When will Codester start selling in the UK again?

Thanks

This is because of VAT issues caused by the Brexit. We are obliged to separately submit a tax return for the UK and have to be able to accept UK VAT numbers from customers. At this point in time the HMRC API is not working properly to check VAT numbers if they are indeed valid.
Once everything is working properly, you can select UK as country again.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
Is there any prediction when it may be solved?

Hi,

Is there any update about the issue?
Thanks

If the issue is solved, it will take quite some time as in months.
Currently there are a lot of requirements from HMRC. We are still looking into this how we can efficiently solve this and what it will mean for us in the future.

Thanks for the update

Just select an other country and the problem is solved

@KingKoala, is it legal?

It's been 9 months what's worse is the fact codster added location detection which means changing country is not optional. This is really bad for business I wanted to buy something for $50 and looks like I have to find another site.

I don't know why you don't add default 20% tax like everyone else

This has left really sour taste in my mouth and lack of confidence me spending any cash with this platform in future.

We would love support the UK and we don't understand that these problems exist.
We can't just add 20% Tax, we have to return it somewhere

I think you can change country and then purchase the required thing.
