Got a pile of paperwork today from my accountant about what is to change in the VAT rules in the EU soon.
For tangiable good it's different then for (digital) services btw.

Cliffnote about the NEW rules:
If I sell a download or stream to a client in Holland, we incl. 19% VAT as before
If the client comes from Belgium, we would have to use 21% in VAT
If the client comes from the UK, we should use 17.5% VAT
If a client comes from outside the EU, say USA, we would have to use the Dutch VAT 19%
etc. etc.
(before 1-1-2010 digital downloads/streams/services outside your own country or EEC were taxfree I believe)
More rules, more changes, more work, more tax
