Hi gang,

I don't know how many of you are currently selling digital products on the
internet or supporting a business that does, but the EU has decided to
impose a tax on downloaded digital products.  It will force US and Canadian
businesses to collect and remit taxes to level the playing field for
European goods.  That's good for Europeans, but no so good for US and
Canada, since we do most of the selling.

>From a brief read, this would include all downloadable digital products,
including documents, video, software, and audio.

My question is, how many of you sell digital products and how many are
equipped to collect and remit taxes for other jurisdictions?

This will certainly affect our company, as we sell our software online.
