SUPERSTAR
Today I felt a little bit like a superstar.
I attended a VAT roundtable yesterday, and someone came up to me and asked: “Are you Bas?”
Now, there are several possible reasons why someone might ask you that question. Perhaps they recognise you from somewhere. Perhaps you have met before. Perhaps you know each other through work.
Or perhaps you are famous.
Naturally, I decided to go with the last option.
“Yes, I am,” I replied.
“I thought so!” he said. “You’re Bas from VATupdate!”
And then came the moment that took things to an entirely different level.
He asked if we could take a selfie together.
A selfie.
With me.
For a brief moment, I felt like a superstar.
Of course, I immediately started wondering what happens next. Do I need security? Should I start wearing sunglasses indoors? Will people now ask me to sign their VAT returns?
I know that our website attracts many VAT enthusiasts, and by now – we have been doing this since 2018 – people are aware of the fact that there are three guys running the site: Kelvin, Luc and Bas.
But making a website and being recognised “in public” is something different.
VATupdate.com publishes VAT-related news from around the world. We use around 400 – 500 different sources, and we aim to provide you with not just the news that we find, but also analysis, trends and summaries. In the form of posts, but also via podcasts.
Every day, an enormous amount of VAT information is published somewhere in the world. New legislation. Court decisions. Tax authority guidance. Changes in VAT rates. E-invoicing and digital reporting. International developments.
We cannot publish everything. But we do our best to find the developments that matter and bring them together in one place. And apparently, after doing that since 2018, people occasionally start recognising the people behind the website.
VATupdate has always been about the news, not about us. Kelvin, Luc and I are simply the three guys behind the scenes, reading articles, checking sources, selecting news and trying to make the world of VAT a little easier to follow.
But yesterday, for a few seconds, I was not just one of the guys behind the website.
I was apparently important enough to take a selfie with.
And yes, I admit it. I rather enjoyed that.
So, thank you to everyone who visits VATupdate.com, reads our daily VAT news from around the world, subscribes to our newsletter and shares our articles with colleagues. You have helped turn a small idea that started in 2018 into something that is recognised by VAT professionals around the world.
And if you happen to see Kelvin, Luc or me at a VAT event, please feel free to say hello.
We are still working on our autograph policy. But apparently, selfies are now available.
Anyone interested in more VAT news, developments and occasional philosophical reflections on the strange similarities between tax law and everyday life can subscribe to the weekly VATupdate newsletter at VATupdate.com
