Which still involves determining purchaser's location, keeping fairly onerous records to prove that location (for 10 years!) and working out which of the umpteen VAT rates applies to each sale.
Seems pretty painful for a teenage kid wanting to make a few pounds from his website.
From what I can see, VATMOSS helps with paying the VAT owed to the EU authorities (a single payment via VATMOSS rather than a separate payment for each country), but doesn't help much otherwise.
