This question has nothing to do with UK taxes, BB!

It is about why a US firm levies payment for it's product in Germany.
(thus making the payment liable to Value Added Tax (VAT))

"I think I've got it"! :-)

This order process is conducted by our online reseller Cleverbridge AG.
Payment processing and order fulfillment are done by Cleverbridge AG,
Brabanter Str. 2-4, 50674 Cologne, Germany

http://www.cleverbridge.com/

I'd missed the 'small print' in the dark blue section of the order page.

YW. You worked it out as an Independent Financial Adviser.

SAS is the best free single malware scanner around. Malwarebytes is the
second best.

Was that your daddy?

Was your momma trashy?

Did you ask your wife who pleased her
all those nights you were not home?

Are you the daddy of your daughter's baby?

Seeking only the truth like you do.

Sometimes Malwarebytes is the best free single malware scanner and SAS is
the second best. It changes. I checked. Right now Malwarebytes is top
again.
