When I come across a service that helps indie-anyone (authors, musicians, artists), my first question, always, is: what about taxes? This is something even big services often punt on because of the complexity involved.[1] Not only do you have to collect taxes, but you also have to pay it to the appropriate government. You then have to file periodic returns in each jurisdiction. The simplest solution for the user in such cases is to let the service become the seller/intermediary between them and the customer. That leave them with just one headache to deal with: whether any income tax is due in the country in which the intermediary is resident/incorporated.
