Digital Sales
Where you have purchased a digital product, in most countries tax will be dealt with in the same manner as physical goods, as described above.
However, if you are based within the EU, if you are purchasing digital products, Games Workshop files a Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) VAT return. This means that VAT applied on your purchase will be based on the rates due in the place that you are located.
For Rest of World countries that require taxes on digital sales without us having a tax registration for physical goods, taxes charges will not necessarily be visible but we do declare those sales to ensure taxes are paid.
