U.S. E-Commerce Sites To Collect EU VAT

A concerned US-based e-commerce company with inter writes "While we have all been fighting the Internet sales tax battle here in the U.S., the European Union of 15 countries has recently required that all U.S. companies with web sales to EU citizens start collecting the value-added tax on July 1, 2003. The Washington Post has a good article about this. It seems Ebay, AOL, and others caved in on this without much complaint. Can U.S. Internet taxation be far behind if we have to start collecting and reporting 15 different VAT taxes? And sorry Mr. or Ms. EU Citizen, your website subscription now costs 15% to 25% more, starting July 1. Hope you like this added value."

Ass wipe, I ran a large MMORPG - coded a good portion and administered it for a while. It's a great way to learn about people. They immerse their entire lives in the things, and I had to address some of the worst aspects of their adolescent minds.

So go fuck yourself, I doubt you've done anything remotely comparable.
