Jersey based Play.com have announced that they will no longer be seling products directly to customers anymore. This is due to the closing of the Low Value Consignment Relief that would allow stores to sell products that are lower than £15 in value VAT Free. It has been said that all 147 Staff from the Jersey based office are to be made redundant as well as 67 staff from the Cambridge and Bristol offices. The closing of the Low Value Consignment Relief loophole has been a major hammer blow to the company causing many redundancies and may harm the business further as the only people selling items on Play.com will now be third parties.
