I'm no expert on VAT, but it seems like this is a lot more like the sales tax case, where you are required to pass the cost on to customers. I'm sure companies prefer to avoid this, but it doesn't seem like it'd be nearly as strong a disincentive as having to pay business income tax in another state.

Oh, fair, I hadn't thought about it from that perspective. I think the challenge is that you still have to know the VAT nuance (and categories) for every country you operate in, and failure to do so correctly will result in you getting a tax bill, regardless. I don't think it's actually any less burdensome than the US' system, but I'm also not an expert on either system (just adjacent exposure working around it).
