That's a pity. You have my sympathy.  :-)

No, this is uncertain. I could not find a definitive answer on the parts.

You are most welcome Carlos. The tax website offers a tool to determine in 
which country sales tax has to paid on lots of different services. I had to 
answer about 20 questions to get an answer and still have no certainty on the 
parts.

I have a VAT number but cannot reclaim paid inland VAT because I have no sales. 
By a strange glitch in the law I still have a VAT exemption on goods purchased 
outside Holland but inside EC.    

Ferdi.
