Just FYI: in Europe, Amazon collects VAT at the buyers' local rate. For example, when shipping books from the UK (which has zero VAT on books), the bill includes VAT at the destination country's rate.



Does VAT vary per county? Or also by smaller areas? If it's just per country it's not that hard to do.


How about per city which is the level at which sales tax can vary in California?
