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).
