- I have to follow only my own countries tax law, the tax laws of the US don't concern me
- If i don't charge the US sales tax, there are no consequences.
The new law is completely absurd because in my earlier example there is absolutely no reprecussions for the japanese merchant not following EU law. They operate in japan and must operate until japenese laws.
