Explain to me why my view is so warped, the N-reg boys are abusing a loophole, the loophole is now shut. You live and work in the EU, you follow the rules here, don't like it? Go live somewhere else.
This ruling is long overdue and welcomed by 99% of the pilots and operators here.
I do feel for those who are going to lose their jobs, but you were lucky you got away with it for this long.
The VAT boys are surely licking their fingers in anticipation too.
