Chris, Jacques, On a more general note...
VAT in EU is not quite as normalised as it should be, I think about 12 years ago the EU adopted an interim VAT solution, but has been stuck with it ever since due to lack of agreement. If you're interested in this sort of thing, the interim VAT solution has raised a bit of controversy recently as billions of euros have disappeared through loop-holes. Do a google search for "VAT carousel" to find out more about the problems with "carousel" fraud. Finally, carousel fraud is causing other side effects, such as distorting export figures, here's an interesting article on that... http://www.finfacts.com/irelandbusinessnews/publish/article_10005795.shtml This is probably a lot more detail than you need, but it's interesting to know a little detail about the whole EU VAT setup... -- Kind Regards Andrew Sykes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sykes Development Ltd http://www.sykesdevelopment.com
