Well, they would probably charge the tax based on your credit card address (or whatever payment means you use). But yes, it would be a nightmare, which is why the author selling from her website is complaining. With physical goods, you just leave it up to the customs agent to calculate the duty and the delivery agent to extract it from the purchaser. With downloads, you don't get that luxury.
