I think you are supposed to actively go to your finance office and tell them "Hi! I have VAT to pay for this international purchase." However I also guess the likelyhood of being caught not to have done is rather small.

It is possible, and some users will swear it to high heaven. However it isn't straight forward, there is some developmentkit/shell hacking involved. With plain end-user GUI you currently cannot do anything with Wi-FI but get software updates.
