EU VAT on MinimServer license purchases

[simoncn]

From 1st January 2021, MinimServer license purchases will be subject to VAT if purchased by a resident of a European Union country (except for VAT-registered EU businesses). This will increase the cost of a MinimServer license by between 17% and 27% depending on your country of residence. This change does not affect license purchases by UK residents or residents of countries outside the EU.

This change is a result of the UK leaving the EU. Until now, MimimServer license purchases have been exempt from EU VAT because of rules that provided exemptions for EU-based small businesses. When the UK fully leaves the EU, these exemptions will no longer apply.
