  11. Re:Maybe a good thing on U.S. E-Commerce Sites To Collect EU VAT · · Score: 1

The theory behind charging this tax is that residents will go to a neighboring state to purchase goods at a lower tax rate (or none at all). The state you live in is loosing money and important tax revenue. So they stick it to ya....
