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.

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

I'm guessing, but VAT applies to Goods & Services a Sales Tax would only
apply to goods? So, how does the exchequer balance the books without
pushing Sales Tax up to over 30%?
