[QUOTE=rwillmer;2802799]My understanding that is that each EU country will continue to be able to set their own tax rate for B2C electronic services (aka ebooks).
So now a selfpub author or publisher selling directly within the EU will have to know:
a) which country in the EU their customer is purchasing from;
b) what the right VAT level is for that country to charge them at the point of sale;
and then
c) at the end of each VAT quarter, submit a different VAT report to each EU member state to pay the right amount of tax in the right currency.

If you were selling physical goods by mail order you already have to do just that just as Amazon has to (unless your sales to a EU state are below the threshold - ~£98,000 for the UK).
Of course if you sell via Amazon they probably do all the work for you.
