That's another hard one to support!! :-)
The whole principle of third party billing is that the "third party" takes responsibility for the sales and rebilling. The client of the TTP does not have control to charge sales to eg. website members.
In other words.... what is happening is traffic is being sent to a TTP and they conduct the sale which can come from any part of the world, and, they are not obliged to analyse member lists and account for some countries that may have tax laws re sales. Especially when that TTP does not operate under the laws of any country other than the one where they physically operate.
I think there is some stuff in TTP contracts that may apply... and the use of terms, like "commission" to webmasters - not "sales on behalf of webmasters" :-)
