Thomas,

Fastspring bases the taxes on the laws of your country of residence. They keep current with legislative requirements in all countries. There is no USA/Canada tax involved, since you live in Sweden. Any tax you pay is a legislative requirement of your home country and goes exclusively to your home country (Sweden).

You can look at other music software sites like Reaper. They use fastspring as eCommerce partner too, and so have a similar setup as we do. http://reaper.fm/purchase.php

As mentioned, for Europe/UK/Nordic/etc countries with high VAT rates, existing customers might wait for the specials to upgrade, as we plan on offering additional discount coupons to users in those countries to offset the extra charge. That’s on top of the discounts that happen anyway during the special.


Have Fun!
