however, the first is a civil law, so requires a complainant to bring a case, which would cost thousands up front
so not likely
the vat, he probably doesn't sell enough for them to give a shit, seeing as they cant be arsed chasing google or amazon.

you don't to go through with a full case in civil court, in many places you can start with a formal complain at the local consumer protection agency.vurt wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 9:13 amit is you know, thats why such rules exist. same with the vat...UtopianLament wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 9:05 amApparently that's not true,GHOST19 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 8:03 amIf you sell stuff in the EU you have to abide by EU business law.

then im not sure why no one has bothered trying? but it's still a law, that could be enforced.
they wouldn't just make laws that people don't really have to bother with

not that im saying anyone should either, i have no opinion either way on it being ok or not, if it's upfront then it's a decision you make before purchase, it's on you imo.

No, it's not. Sorry, but you don't know international law. US companies are not required to collect VAT for products they sell and distribute from the US, and that includes software and online services. Likewise, EU sellers to US consumers are not required to collect state sales tax, so this cuts both ways.vurt wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 9:13 amit is you know, thats why such rules exist. same with the vat...UtopianLament wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 9:05 amApparently that's not true,GHOST19 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 8:03 amIf you sell stuff in the EU you have to abide by EU business law.

The only exception is if they have a physical business presence in the country/state to which they are selling.
The same applies to EU consumer protection laws.

No, US companies don't have to follow EU transfer laws either.
