I’ve bought a load of downloadable VSTs online in the past and always paid the tax due in my country of residence (Sweden). I’ve noticed that changing the Country at checkout can have a big effect on the amount of VAT one has to pay. I’m guessing from a legal and moral standpoint you should be honest where you’re living. Without incriminating yourself does anyone have any views or information regarding this? Thanks.

By doging the VAT you might be committing tax fraud. And depending on your country it might be quite a serious thing (if you get caught).

Yeah. Figured. Was more a general wondering. Never tried it before. It’s only a few pennies in the grand scale of things anyway.

Don't worry. You'll get away with it as long as you don't do something silly like document your crime on, say, a public internet forum. Oh.... :lol:
