This week has been very convulsive not only for the British but also for the rest of the citizens of the European Union, since the famous referendum was positive and the United Kingdom will leave the European Union. But now what will happen?
Before the referendum, many companies and entrepreneurs they warned of the catastrophe that this entailed. Now with the approval, there are many who are desperate, others who want to leave the country and others who want to get a "slice" of the situation, but nobody knows what will really happen in the country, not even the booksellers.
The United Kingdom will have to spend two more years in the EU after the famous Brexit
Although the United Kingdom will leave the European Union, the process is long and can take up to 7 years before the exit is effective. And for at least two more years the UK will remain in the EU. During these years, the British government will have to maintain its kingdoms, which want to separate, we are talking about Scotland and Northern Ireland, maintain relations with the EU to decide what its future will be like and meanwhile solve the politics of the day to day and of the EU.
This is the most delicate of all. During these months it is planned to create a common VAT in all EU member countries, but if the UK leaves, the process will be more difficult than normal, especially affecting VAT on books and ebooks.
La British currency is slowly falling in value, which will make the products cheaper than in the European Union, so if this is maintained and the VAT is not increased, the United Kingdom could be a key point when it comes to selling ebooks and books to other countries.
At least these are the possible situations that will take place in the short term, but the British Government is not going through its best moment after the abandonment of Cameron, so political instability may radically affect all markets and also the EU, even if we don't want it ...
They say that all great change is for the better. But when you are immersed in the crisis, you do not see the way out so clearly.
From day 1 they began to regret. In any case, they will know.
What has interested us a lot about the article is the question of the "unified" VAT for the EU. Will it be less than the one that exists right now for the electronic book?
A greeting.
