It seems that this rule only applies on B2C sales. You only need to figure out what to do if your end use is a consumer, not a company.

- jibjab 15y agoTrue, but no one seems to ask European based companies for their VATIN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_added_tax_identification_number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_added_tax_identification_...) to check if they're really companies. "Suppliers of electronic services, such as anti-virus updates are obliged to charge VAT on the service. If the purchaser of these services is a taxable person, then in certain circumstances, it is the customer, rather than the supplier who must account for the VAT. For this reason, the supplier may ask for the VAT identification number of the customer, so that he can confirm whether it is he who must charge the VAT or whether the customer himself will account for the VAT. If the customer does not have a valid VAT number, then the supplier will charge VAT. For additional information, please see VAT on e-commerce (FAQ)" http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/faqvies.do#item3 http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/faqvies.do#item3
