Seems to me that the current way of dealing with other EU countries

Can't see that happening, not least because it would leave a roughly
£100bn hole in the Gov'ts income each year that'd need to be filled
with something else.


Yes, sales tax.


Other than the name, care to explain the difference?

interesting article.


...written by one of the most profoundly anti-EU of MEPs, outside of
UKIP. So hardly an unbiased reflection.


That is what is so interesting. The most anti EU politician isn't in UKIP...


The second interesting thing is that you haven't challenged his
arguments - merely attempted to discredit his competence to make an
argument at all.

But about the difference between a sales tax and a value-added tax?
