Thanks for the clarification. I assumed that what was true for the UK was true for Europe as a whole. It doesn't seem logical otherwise: why would there be a different system for just one country. But that's what seems to be the case.
Perhaps they should flag Europe as "Europe except UK". But then what about the countries that are in Europe but not in the EU, and therefore perhaps don't have VAT (or don't require VAT on electronic imports).
Complicated, isn't it?
