Credit or debit card such as Visa or Mastcard most efficient form of international payment when currency exchange necessary.0

HA HA HA HA - good joke
No US company charge a VAT from EU customer.
It's shipping cost - FRS deal till today only hardware and not prepared selling software.
I think they will fix the bug in FRS shop fast
.. have buyed last year my Maestro at FRS shop - only shipping was added0 -
VAT is required to be charged for all EU sales transactions.0

Can I better wait for Chris before I do the Update. Because that's all new to me here.

The type of payment doesn't make a difference, we are still required to collect VAT.0

Chris,
Sorry but this is not a bug. We don't like any more than you do but EU law requires that we charge for VAT on software sold directly over the Internet. We have to pay a third party company to do all the VAT filings so we make less money when we sell software into the EU.

Here's a further explanation: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/sites/taxation/files/information_microbusinesses_euvat_2015_en...
Basically for downloadable software purchases EU collects VAT based on where you live, not where you purchase the software from. Some US states have the similar regulations for state sales tax on software downloads.

Why do not we have the opportunity to buy the software here in Europe. It's 41.79 $ extra just for update. That probably is the update version for the USA market 199$ ?.

Only if not registered for VAT which I am.

Unless you are a business customer of FlexRadio Systems (one of our distributors) we are required to consider the transaction a B2C transaction and charge VAT.0
-
Because the EU charges VAT on purchases and services and we are required to collect and remit it.0

OK - i never stop learning! It's new for me - my Apologie!0

@Patrick The Euro is $1.165. A few weeks ago in June it was $1.09. So with the stronger Euro you are getting a discount to help pay VAT Blame your own government for VAT.1

Download and install V2 with the strong Euro now $1.16.0
