Van een USA webhost.
Telkens als ik er bij herlezen dan toch de logica weer van in zie, denk ik
een seconde later weer 'WTF?!, sedert wanneer heeft wie waarom de USA hier
ooit toe kunnen verplichten?....die gekken dragen nog niet eens VAT/sales-
tax af voor hun eigen out-of-state/interstate verkopen!'
This stinks, and not just a little bit.

As a non-European Union (E.U.) supplier of web-hosting services to
customers in the (E.U.), we are required to comply with the European VAT
(Value Added Tax) regulations by charging VAT to customers located in the
E.U.
Customers categorized as Business users in the E.U. may be required to pay
the VAT seperately on any fees for our web-hosting services under EC
Directive 2006/112, Art 196 using the reverse charge mechanism.* In order
for us to determine whether you are exempt from the VAT charge, we need to
collect some information from you.
*************************** IMPORTANT ***************************
If you are an EU business with a VAT number:
please update your billing profile at https://xxxxxxxxx
so you won't automatically be charged for the VAT fee.
************************************************** ***************
If we determine that we are required to collect VAT from you, the VAT rate
will be your E.U. member state's VAT rate at the date of invoice. The VAT
charge will be itemized separately on your invoices and billing
information.

Welke schaamteloos inhalige randdebiel heeft dit er door gedrukt, en welke
grenzeloos slappe randdebiel heeft dit geaccepteerd?
En, niet het minst aardige: geldt dit ook andersom, voor USA-klanten die in
de EU hosten?
