Thanks for your elaborate answer Peter.

It all makes good sense, the only remaining issues I have are:

it seems that the involvement of FastSpring triggered the need to handle VAT, is it their decision or is based on legislative requirements which surely differs between markets?

Quote:
If your home government wants you to pay tax, FastSpring pays it directly to your government, just like any VAT that you pay.
What if our home government does not require the tax for private purchases on downloadable software? (Haven't dived into the details of Swedish/European tax laws ..., it may be set by the legislation.)

Is there no Canadian/US tax included? Which would mean paying tax on tax ...

Also the responsibility is handed over to a third party to handle international taxations deriving from the sales of your products, i.e. transparency may run the risk of being compromised.

Still a bit confused, but at a higher level smile



PS I like your products but I like to know where my hard earned cash is going ... confused DS
