MRD: here is the info about VAT

[Old Forums]

"Eftersom jag är privatperson så kommer jag i det här fallet att få en räkning med svensk moms om säljaren finns i Sverige eller ett land utanför EG. En säljare i ett land utanför EG ska registrera sig till moms här i Sverige och ta ut svensk moms för försäljning av varor med leverans on-line i Sverige. Om säljaren finns i ett annat EG-land får jag i stället betala det landets moms."

thats in swedish i know. im gonna explain its content.

it pritty much tells you that if you buy something outside of EU you pay your own countrys taxes. But you shall NOT pay that countrys VAT. because that company has to register it self that its selling services to sweden and there for sales it with swedish VAT values. something like that.. so in other words its very strange that you get screwed 2 times on the VAT

Not really m8, when u consider that they've all ready figured the american tax in their subscription price (i.e. their subscription breakdown would look like - so much for server upkeep, so much for dev team wages, so much for american sales tax, so much profit)

So, working on that, u'd pay VAT because SOE is outside europe, but u'd also be paying for american sales tax cos its already figured into their price plans. OK, SOE wouldn't probably pay the american sales tax on our subscriptions, as they gotta pay the VAT instead, but we're still getting charged the same as if they were, and the cost of the european VAT is being added on top as a price hike.

Its that bit that gets to me, as european players are being taken for mugs.
