No, from what I can see letting the customer specify his location is not sufficient. It would be up to my son to determine the buyer's location, backing it up with 2 separate but consistent pieces of evidence (such as IP address, bank location etc.) which he then needs to record and keep for 10 years. There are also a list of "presumptions" about location (to cover cases where, e.g. a customer is travelling, where it's the departure point that counts as the location) that he would be required to apply (or, if he wanted to override those presumptions he'd need *3* pieces of evidence to do so).
