I'm just wondering why you talked to UK tax consultants about this. May I ask why, out of curiosity?

Basically because we don't want to get a bill from various EU revenue and customs departments or get audited by them since many of our sales occur within the EU. Imagine if you're a US company and out of nowhere you received a bill for 17.5% of every sale you made within the EU, even though you never collected it from the customer because you didn't think you had to.
