Show me on an official US GOVERNMENT website anything saying American businesses must collect EU tax -- you cant.
I am sure that US mutlinationals that maintain a domiciled presence (an EU nation's corporate charter) in the EU comply with the EU Directives ( including the VAT Directives).
The OP is a Canadian? business. So what the Canadian laws/treaties my be I don't know. For fact, we do not charge our Canadian customers (b2c ) their respective Provincial GST and we are a Netherlands chartered corporation.

that being said, what legal ramifications do you think could occur from not collecting and submitting the VAT? is it possible for the EU country in question to sue in our courts? or would it be something as simple as blocking the site in question for the country?
i was mystified and a little concerned when i was told i needed a VAT to simply do contracting work
