Wrong for me atleast. In sweden were i've have been in contact with the tax agency for a very long time about this matter.

They way they see it is that i buy a service from a thirdparty biller like CCBill. And it's like an outsourcing service. You hire them to keep up your members billings and password handling etc.

So what i have todo is to add 25% tax to all EU customers. And nothing for the rest. But it's quite easy if you have a established company in the EU. Just to remember EU and Non-EU members and keep records of that. I don't have any higher memberfees for EU customers so they wont notice. And i won't notice the tax anyway couse it's deducted against the tax on your other bills for example.
