Hello all,
Are you operating an International shop selling downloadable products and you're dealing with clients from EU Zone? If yes, be aware that from 1st January 2015, according to new EU resolutions for electronics sales you must collect EU VAT from clients living in EU countries (EU zone) without a valid VAT id. Doesn't matters if you're a US (or any non EU country) business. If you deal with EU clients you must collect EU VAT.

The main change is that now the VAT is calculating not depending on the Seller's country but depending on the country where the customer belongs
